Dog Star Rescue Adoption & Fundraising Events

Upcoming Adoption Events

We have adoption events every weekend where families can find their new, furry best friend. We strongly encourage you to complete an adoption application ahead of our events so that we can pre-screen you for eligibility. This process typically takes a few days. Please check your email including spam folder and respond back promptly.
