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.

Jo (from the Little Women) was born on Valentines Day in a puppy mill. She and her 2 sisters arrived in rescue 1 year later. Jo has made great progress recently and has learned to trust humans and that life can be fun. She loves to run and play with her foster brothers but then runs back into the house and into her Foster Mom's arms. Jo's picture shows one ear up and 1 down but when she is feeling safe and happy they are both up and her beautiful tail wags! Jo needs a loving home with a lot of patience and kindness. She will be a truly devoted dog once she has her own "human" that she knows will always treat her kindly. Jo will do best in a home with just one other dog to play with and a stay at home Mom and/or Dad that will continue to show her all the love in the world.
