Current availability
No retired adults are available right now.
Please check back. When one of our dogs is ready for retirement, we will share an honest description of their personality, routine and the kind of home where they are most likely to thrive.
Ready for their new home
Before leaving 3R, every retired dog is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and given a dental.
A thoughtful match
Meeting the dog in person is preferred whenever possible, although it is not required. The goal is always to make the best match for both the dog and the family.
Three-week trial period
The full adoption fee is paid before the dog goes home. The first three weeks are a trial period so the family and dog have time to settle in and make sure the placement is a good fit.
Our lifelong promise
Every 3R dog will always have a home here.
If a placement does not work out—during the trial period or years later—the dog can always come back to 3R. After the dog is placed in another suitable home, I will refund the portion of the adoption fee I am able to recover. The refund may be less than the original fee, depending on the dog's health, condition and needs when returned.
