Loved Into Readiness

Our dogs spend time in foster homes before adoption — not kennels. They arrive in your life already housebroken, socialized, and emotionally settled.

Afro

Afro

8 +/- Years

Dog • Terrier Mix • Male

This cute guy is a goofy, silly boy that has lived outdoors his entire life. Angels to the Animals has been helping to care for him over the past 6-7 years, and we estimate his age to be around 8 years old. He is a big boy, weighing around 90 lbs. and is pure love. Afro just wants to be a lap dog! He loves to chase a ball, but isn't so good about bringing it back, but will roll over on it. His owner allowed one of our volunteers to bring him home a couple of nights when we had some pretty severe weather, and he never had an accident in the house. When we have taken him out, he pretty much ignores other dogs, so we can't say for sure how he would do with another one, but would suggest perhaps a low key female as a companion. He does chase cats, so he shouldn't be around them. Due to his size, we suggest no children under teen years. Afro's family is moving to an apartment and having medical issues, so this guy need a home immediately. Aftro is already neutered, and up to date on all vaccines and monthly preventatives. We plan to have him bathed and cleaned up before he goes to his new home so he is sparkling and shiny! We would already consider a foster or foster to adopt for him.

Waffles started out as a temporary foster while her regular foster was away on a long trip. But as soon as she arrived, she and our youngest pup became instant best friends—truly thick as thieves. Within just a few days, we knew she wasn't going anywhere. She's such an easy dog: goofy, sweet, and someone who finds joy in absolutely everything.

Common Questions About Rescue Adoption

Everything you want to know before you apply.

How long does the adoption process take?expand_more

Most adoptions are completed within one to two weeks, from application to bringing your dog home. Processing time depends on application review, the home visit, scheduling a meet-and-greet, and completing the adoption agreement. We move as quickly as possible to ensure that every match is right.

Can I adopt if I rent my home?expand_more

Yes! Many of our adopters rent. You'll need to confirm that your lease permits pets, and we may ask for written landlord approval. If you need help communicating with your landlord, we can provide documentation about AttA and the adoption process.

Do your dogs get along with other pets and children?expand_more

Every dog in our program has been evaluated for temperament, and their foster family knows them well. We carefully document how each dog interacts with other animals, kids, and new environments — and we use that information to make thoughtful matches.

What's included in the adoption fee?expand_more

The $350 adoption fee for dogs covers spay or neuter surgery, full vaccination series, microchipping, a health examination by a licensed veterinarian, and any treatments administered during their time in our care. It's genuinely excellent value for everything included.

What happens if the adoption doesn't work out?expand_more

We ask that you return the dog to AttA rather than rehome them yourself. We have a return policy in place for exactly these situations — life happens, and we never want a dog to end up in an uncertain situation. We'll work with you to find a solution.

Can I meet a dog before I apply?expand_more

Absolutely. Usually we prefer a application, first, but we can make special case exceptions, if required. We want you to feel confident and excited — not pressured. Check our events page for upcoming opportunities.
