Hearts for Hounds is a non-profit organization and is operated 100% by volunteers, including the time of our founder, Bonnie Sheehan.

If you have an interest in a dog that you see available on our website, please call Bonnie at 760-244-4808 and provide your name, phone number and the specific dog in which you are interested.

There are rules to the adoption process that we will share with you prior to your adopting a dog. We take these rules very seriously for the sake and welfare of the dogs, not to seem difficult with our potential families. Please understand this while we explain our contract and ask you questions about your home and family. You may download our Adoption Application and Agreement here. Completing this before arriving at our adoption events makes the process easier.

There is an adoption fee associated with the adoption of every dog. The fee is completely and fully at the discretion of Hearts for Hounds. With that fee, we make every effort to provide you with a healthy and happy new companion. Please understand that we are humans attempting to understand dogs - communications are sometimes challenging and they don't always tell us when they are not feeling well. If you have concerns about your new friend, please let us know so we can assist and address the situation.

We encourage you to come to any of our adoption events as we feel that is the best way for you to get to know your potential new addition to your family.

We hope to assist you in finding a companion that will fit well within your home and family. We do understand that from time to time, a perfect match will not be achieved, so we will gladly work with you - we want you to be as happy as your new companion is in your home.
