Over the years, rescue has become a natural part of what we do at RF Dogs. We take in dogs in need, give them the time, structure and training necessary, and carefully look for the right home.
We believe that successful rescue is not about placing a dog as quickly as possible. It is about understanding the individual dog and finding the home in which they can truly thrive. Every dog we place is evaluated based on their temperament, needs and personality, and we are thoughtful about matching them with a family best suited to them.
Our commitment to our rescue dogs does not end at adoption. We remain a resource for their families throughout the dog’s life, and if circumstances ever change, a dog adopted through RF Dogs will always come back to us.
RF Dogs Rescue
Support for Newly Adopted Dogs
Bringing a rescue dog home is exciting, but for many dogs, the first few weeks can also be overwhelming. Dogs coming directly from shelters, the street, transport, or other stressful environments often need time to decompress before they are ready to learn what life in their new home will look like.
To support both dogs and their new families, RF Dogs offers special pricing for recently adopted rescue dogs.

Our Let-Down Program is a reduced-rate training stay designed for dogs transitioning directly from stressful environments into a permanent home.
Rather than asking a dog to immediately adjust to a new family, new house, new routine and new expectations all at once, we give them a quiet, structured period to decompress while we begin establishing the foundations that will make their transition home easier.
During their stay, we focus on routine, rest, trust, appropriate socialization, crate training, leash skills and basic household expectations, adapting the program to the individual dog in front of us.
At the end of the stay, we work with the family to help them understand their new dog and continue that structure at home.

We offer special training rates for families who have recently adopted a dog through a recognized rescue or shelter. Our goal is to make professional support accessible during the period when it can make the greatest difference in keeping a dog successfully and permanently in their new home.

Dogs For Adoption
Maha and Horos
Maha and Horos were found on a construction site as strays. Over the time that they have been with us, the two of them have really come out of their shells. They are calm, well behaved, and playful. Maha is an approximately 2 year on Belgian Malinois, and Horos is an approximately one year old Great Dane. They are a bonded pair, and will only be rehomed together. Maha and Horos are house trained, friendly with other dogs and children, and are a very special pair.
Java
Java is approximately 1 year old hound mix. She is about 35 lbs.
She is exceptionally intelligent, athletic, and social. She plays well dogs of every size and personality. We have fencing that separates different groups of dogs in our yard, and Java jumps the fences between the pens to play with every group. Java should not live with cats, she has a strong instinct to chase them. She is wonderful with children and truly does not have an aggressive bone in her body.
Java showed up at our house as a stray. She was wearing a ‘homemade’ prong collar that was digging into her neck and causing her to bleed. We know nothing else about her history, but that alone tells us she deserves a very different life from the one she came from.
Her ideal home would be active and committed to exercising her every day. A home with a yard would be ideal, and she would be an incredible dog for someone who hikes, runs, or spends a lot of time outside
