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.

Tristan is the most fun little guy! Nobody knows about his beginnings, Tristan was found in the house where his owner had died. He was malnourished and had a very matted coat, but the most interesting thing was that his toes were splayed and he walked on his ankles. He had absolutely no muscle tone. You see this when a dog has spent his life in the wire crates of a puppy mill. How he became this old woman's companion will always be a mystery.
Tristan's age is a mystery too. At first he seemed about 4 years old. But once he was groomed and got his teeth cleaned, he looked younger. As his muscles get stronger, Tris seems younger and younger!
He runs! He jumps! and he grabs the hem of my pants and won't let go. Tris has learned to sleep until 9:00 AM, but at 9:01 he is worse than an alarm clock. Get up! get up! He is ready to go.
Tristan will make you smile and laugh out loud. He needs to learn his manners, to potty regularly outside, and to walk on a leash without putting it in his mouth to pull you along.
You will love Tris! Please come and visit him and see for yourself.
