Where do we get our rescued Affens?
Affenpinschers come to us from many sources...animal shelters, owners who are no longer able to keep their dog, from other rescue groups and concerned citizens...just about anywhere that we find an Affen in need of our help. Sometimes we act as a referral service for shelters or other rescues that have an Affen in need of a forever home. If you know of an Affen in need, please contact us.

How we care for the dogs
The dogs that come into our care are placed in foster homes where they are treated as a member of the family. Some of them have never been a loved and spoiled pet before so it's quite a learning experience for them. We work on socialization skills with people and other animals, housebreaking and other house manners. During this time, all medical issues are attended to including vaccinations, heartworm testing and treatment and spay/neuter. No animals are adopted before they are as healthy as we can help them be and either spayed or neutered.

Adoption Procedures
We require that all prospective adoptors complete an adoption application. If you might be the right home for the dog, we contact references and pay a short visit to your home. If you are approved for adoption, we require that a contract be signed and we ask that you make a donation to our rescue so that we can continue to help other Affens in need.
