Most of our Papillons are adopted as close as possible to their foster homes. Each foster parent gives their heart and love to the butterflies in their care and it is hard to part with them. If you are interested in a Papillon that is not in your home state, you may still send an application, however, every effort is first made to place the dogs within a reasonable distance.We request that the applicant is willing to come to the home to meet the dog and to be sure the match is a good one.
While not all homes are suitable for the physically and emotionally fragile dogs that come into our rescue, we tend to have more people willing to rescue our Papillons than we have dogs available. We are grateful for the kindness of so many people. There may be a delay in finding the right dog for you, and each application is carefully scrutinized. It may take 2 weeks or more before you hear from someone in our volunteer organization.
Our adoption guidelines are stated preceeding the application page. Please read them carefully. Any transportation expenses are the full responsibility of the adopter. Suggested adoption donation:
For healthy dogs up to two years of age: $350-$450 For healthy dogs between the ages of two and six:$ 250-$350 For healthy dogs between the ages of six and nine: $150-$250 Geriatric or "special needs" dogs: donation is set on a case-by-case basis
Not all our Papillons are listed on the webpage.

Doxie came into rescue on 2/28/09 from a mill release. Doxie is between 4-5 years old with a beautiful sable and white coat. Tips of ears have turned black now that she's health. I might not have all my teeth, but I can eat and give hand kisses. Maybe my tail isn't all there, but I can still wag it. I want my forever home. I have learned to be a dog. Love running in the fenced in yard with my foster brothers. I do a little sideway dance when I want my Foster Parents to pick me up. I even like takeing walks. My most favorite thing is going for rides in the car. It was hard for me to understand the going outside to potty, but I even do that too. I've started useing my voice let them know when I want something. I want my own family and home. PLEASE My Foster Parents can't understand no one is filling out application for me. They say you won't be sorry!!
