Welcome to The adoption cottage
Because shelter dogs need a vacation too.
We provide respite care for dogs in shelters and rescues. We are a 501c(3) tax deductible non profit.
We are well on our way to our building and fencing goal!
Help us reach our goal so we can build our cottage and help dogs in need. Read more about us below!
About Us
Our Mission
We work with existing shelters and rescues to provide respite care for dogs who need a vacation from a shelter environment or for rescue dogs waiting for a foster home.
Conceptualized by the founders of The Cottages, The Adoption Cottage will bring adventure back into the lives of pups who are starting to give up on themselves. Our non-profit takes sheltered, fostered and neglected four legged friends and rehabilitates them with the gift of space, where a dog can truly be a dog. We promise to create a safe place where someone's next best friend can lose their inhibition, fear of abandonment and reimagine life as fun, happy, and full of wags. In other words, a place for dogs to recharge their love battery so they can one day share it with a worthy human.
Building Our Cottage
The rough site work is complete and the roads are in place. Our conditional use permit and site plan are approved by the county and we are now working to obtain our building permits.
How We Are Different
We work with existing shelters to provide a vacation for their dogs and we offer foster based rescues a temporary home for their dogs in need. The Cottages for Pets boarding facility donates 5% of their profits to us to help fund our mission. We will be located on the same property at The Cottages, but we will have our own space and fencing.
