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.

Hi! My name is Trudy but I changed the spelling to Trudi, so I can learn to be the French coquette I was meant to be,
I have not had a great life so far. I was from a puppy farm in MO where there is no love and they always took my babies away from me. I was sent to an auction when I wasn't very profitable anymore , and I was so scared!
But it turned out to be a good thing for me. A rescue lady took me away with her and for a while I got to take a lot of trips in the car. Now I am in Idaho with my foster Mom and she is helping me learn to feel safe. She is showing me what love feels like and I LOVE the way it feels! I get to eat a lot and I am always warm and I have friends to play with.
I had such a bad infection in my mouth that the doctor took out all my teeth! WOW! Do I feel better! I can eat and even chew on things now and it doesn't even hurt. My doctor says I am a real healthy Papillon.
Yep! I think life is going to be really good from now on. It might take a while for me to be sure about people, but I am working on it with my foster Mom. She says I am a pretty little French butterfly!
