What Our Adopters Say

"My adoption process was very special because this was my first time EVER adopting a dog. It is something I’ve always wanted to do and this made my dog momma heart so happy! I also really appreciated that you weren’t turned away for living in an apartment or somewhere in general without a yard. [because I’ve heard that story many many times with people trying to adopt from rescues and shelters. I just don’t think that makes sense; a dog would rather live in a loving home without a yard, then be stuck in a shelter on a slab of concrete or be waiting to be euthanized.] And then also talking with his foster mom was amazing. She sent me videos and photo updates and kept me up-to-date on him before I actually got him which really just made the wait for him a little bit easier. And even though I had not met this dog in person when he arrived, I felt like I knew him. He was a piece of me and he was right where he belonged.

We adopted Murphy from Destination Rescue in May 2025 and had such a positive experience! Every step of the process was so easy from the application to the transport and her foster parents were (still are!) the best. Murph was in great hands before we ever met her. She is sweetest, most playful pup and the perfect addition to our family. We can’t recommend Destination Rescue enough!

"We adopted Dutton and Dolly in September this year, and it's been a dream come true! Our wonderful foster, Lauren, and Kristy helped ship them from Austin, TX to NJ. We were kept updated with FaceTime and photos before they arrived. They received amazing care and are now beloved members of our family. These sweet, loving, smart, and playful pups are over 80lbs and 8 months old now, and they love running in the yard and playing with the neighborhood dogs."
