Find Your New Best Friend
Every dog deserves a safe home, patient care and a family ready for a lifelong commitment.
AWF helps rescued dogs move from uncertainty toward stability, recovery and adoption. We focus on thoughtful matching so each adoption has the best possible chance to last.
Our goal is not simply to place a dog quickly, but to help dogs and adopters find a home situation that can work for the long term.

A Good Adoption Starts With the Right Expectations
A Lifelong Commitment
Adoption means planning for a dog’s care, health, training and companionship for the rest of their life.
Individual Needs Matter
Some dogs may have specific medical, behavioral, housing or family-environment needs that are important to a successful match.
Matching Comes First
Applications are reviewed with both the dog and adopter in mind. The best match may not always be the first dog someone applies for.

Our full Adoption Process page explains the details. Here is the basic path.
