Adopt a Double Dog Today!
Please fill out a Double Dog Rescue application and email it to the DDR volunteer in that dog’s petfinder bio. Be sure to contact your veterinarian and give us permission to do a vet reference check to expedite the process. Most vets require your approval. If you are interested in a general pre approval to adopt from our organization, send your application to preappddr@gmail.com. Home visits are also part of the initial process. Keep in mind that several people may have put an application in for the same dog. When this happens, an adopter is picked based on that particular dog’s temperament, personality, and how that matches with your family’s lifestyle
Our adoption fee is $485. Due to rising costs, our fee has been slightly raised in order to cover the cost of both vetting and transporting our dogs. We use professional transports to ensure the safety of all of our dogs. You will receive the vet records at the transportation pick-up. Remember, your adoption fee is tax-deductible at the end of the year. Click here to download our application.
Adopting to Families With Children
We have a very specific contract that is tailored for families with children. If you have children under the age of ten who live with you and/or visit, you will be asked to submit this contract before you can be approved to adopt. As the adult(s) in the home it is your full responsibility to educate your child(ren) on the proper way to interact with your dog, and vice versa. We want your guarantee that you will introduce and educate your children (and their friends as well) as to how to properly and safely interact with your dog, creating respect and boundaries for both. Children and dogs should never be left together unattended. It only takes a moment for a dog to get accidentally hurt or startled and for that dog to react. We encourage you to watch this video with your entire family before you consider adopting.

Meet Bailey! He is a 1-year-old Black Lab mix who loves exploring! Bailey is quite the adventurer and loves water. He will happily go along with you on your walks, hikes, and trips to the lake! Being only a year old, Bailey has typical youngster energy and requires daily exercise and playtime. He is looking for a family who is not gone long hours every single day. He is also hoping to find an active household where he will have someone to run around the yard with and even teach him how to fetch! Bailey would have no problem sharing a home with a doggy sibling. In fact, he would not mind if he were sharing a home with kitties either. He is just a happy-go-lucky sweetheart who is nice and content as long as he gets plenty of attention and affection! His new family should be prepared to teach him things that he does not know yet, such as potty training, basic commands, and what is and is not a chew toy. He can not wait to meet you!

Meet Billy Madison! Billy once had a loving owner and a warm home. Unfortunately, after becoming terminally ill, Billys owner had to make the tough decision to surrender sweet Billy to the shelter. He is without a doubt one of the shelter favorites and he wants the attention of every person he passes. Billy is so friendly and such a social guy! He is excellent with other dogs, but especially takes a liking to females. He gets along very well with male dogs too, though he tries to be Big Brother with them and believes he makes the rules for the pack. Billy has been in a home for many years and it shows through his house manners. He is a smart boy who is housebroken and will indicate that he needs to go outside by barking by the door. We have promised Billy we will find him a wonderful home and we intend to do so!

Meet Calvin! He was found as a walking skeleton and was practically nothing but skin and bones. This poor boy has had an abusive past and will need lots of reassurance in the future that people will not hurt him. He is a fantastic boy who just needs love and affection to earn his trust. Calvin LOVES love!! So much so that he gets a little excited when showing affection. His excitement and mouthiness mixed with his large size and young age makes one goofy boy who would be best in a home without children. This laid-back sweetheart is more than ready to find a forever family who will love and care for him. In return, he will give you plenty of love and puppy kisses!

Meet Carla! This sweet girl loves people so she is looking for a family who will give her lots of attention! She is approximately 2 years old and is around 55 lbs. Though kitties are too interesting for Carla, she sure does like the company of other dogs! Dogs who are not too pushy would be best for Carla, as she does not appreciate being bullied around. She likes going on walks and will require at least some type of daily exercise to burn off some of her youngster energy. Treats are an excellent motivator for her and they will definitely help with training. In fact, they have proven to already be helpful as sweet Carla learned Sit with ease! At the top of her wishlist is toys, toys, and more toys! She loves to play and hopes to have so many toys in her new home that she has a hard time choosing which one to play with next. Do not miss out on this beautiful girl. She will win over your heart as soon as you meet her!

Meet Ebony-Anne! Do not let her age fool you - this beauty is five years YOUNG and has oodles of energy! Ebony-Anne loves playing and she could play with her doggy friends for hours! She finds kitties too interesting and chases too often, so we are requiring a cat-free home. Ebony is looking for a family who will not be gone long hours, as she needs plenty of daily exercise and playtime! She is such a Velcro dog, as in she will stick to you like glue. If you get up, she gets up. If you walk upstairs, she will follow. And you better believe she will be in the kitchen staring at you the entire time you cook! Ebony-Anne is fantastic with children, though her high energy and large size may accidentally knock down some little ones, but it would never be intentional. This poor girl has gone through being abandoned, shelter life, Heartworm treatment, and people passing her by for her tough look. All she wants is a family who loves her!

You can stop your search here if you are looking for the perfect family dog who is energetic, yet well-mannered, and absolutely adorable! Ivy is a young Terrier and Plott Hound mix who is as loving as they come! She adores her people and will follow you to the ends of the Earth. She would prefer to have a home all to herself where she can get all the attention! Playtime is the best time according to Ivy! She enjoys chasing tennis balls and looks forward to Spring and Summer when she can chase them for hours in the backyard. Ivy still very much enjoys staying active and she likes to get her daily exercise in by going on walks and hikes. Meet Ivy and you will immediately know that she is the one for you!

Jax is a handsome and friendly one-year-old, 55 lb. catahoula leopard/rhodesian ridgeback mix that was found as a stray in rural Mississippi. While playful and active, he is also a very affectionate boy who loves to cuddle up with his people after a day of fun in the yard or at the park. Known as a big lapdog, Jax loves belly rubs and giving kisses.
He is a smart pup who is always eager to learn and is currently working on basic commands, such as sit, stay, come, with his foster family. Jax is such a good boy and is great on leash, as well as is house and crate trained. He's your typical spunky dog that enjoys chew toys, treats, and bones.
Due to his higher energy level, he is recommended for a home without younger children (older kids potentially ok). He also appears to do well with other dogs of all sizes. If you are looking for an adventurous companion, Jax is the dog for you!
If interested in Jax, please contact Emily at Emilybodnerddr@gmail.com.

Meet Jenna! She is a beautiful 3-year-old Lab and Shepherd mix who enjoys having a job to do! Jenna thrives on routine and structure and would be such a great candidate for agility training! She may not be a young pup anymore, but she still has tons of energy and loves to run around in the backyard, go for hikes, and play fetch! Her play style is a bit overly-friendly and tends to make more hesitant dogs feel as though they are being pushed around. Therefore, if Jenna is adopted to a family with another dog, they should also share her love of rough-and-tumble, high-energy playtime. There are still some behaviors that Jenna displays that are typically found in younger pups, such as turning anything and everything into a chew toy, so her new family must be prepared to do some basic training with her. Lucky for them, Jenna is very intelligent, aims to please, and has a great focus that will only benefit her when it comes to any new lessons that she will learn. This wonderful girl hopes to find a family who is home more than they are away, as she will want to have plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation throughout the day!

Meet Jerry Lee! He is a huge lovebug and is super sweet! Jerry Lee is just a year old and has many more years ahead of him to spend with his forever family! He enjoys playing and bouncing around so much that it is actually hard to get a good photo of him! He is quite the petite boy at only 35lbs. but he has a huge heart! Jerry Lee loves people and after his initial shyness wears off, he is ready to make friends with everyone. He is looking for a home where he will not be left alone for long hours every day, as this handsome fella needs plenty of exercise and playtime. However, he would be willing to reconsider if his family were to bring him to doggy day care while they are working a long shift! On-leash walks are still a little confusing to Jerry and he will need help gaining confidence during neighborhood strolls, as he will freeze when something spooks him. He would love a fenced-in yard to run around in and burn off some energy while not having to worry about that very confusing leash all the time. Make this adorable boy a part of your family and you will not regret it!

Meet Konga! She was brought to the vet down South where her owner wanted to have her put down due to her eye bulging out. Luckily, she was surrendered and signed over to rescue. Konga was seen by the hospital where she did end up losing her eye. But have no fear - Konga does not let her loss affect her! She is still playful, happy-go-lucky, and very loving! She is such a sweet girl who loves to be around people. She easily makes friends with dogs of any size and age, but she does tend to play on the rougher side. Therefore, if adopted to a family with other four-legged friends, they should be able to handle her play style. Konga walks very well on leash and is looking forward to many walks with her new family in the near future! So far, she has been trained to potty on puppy pads, but is not fully housebroken. Her family should expect to have some work to do in the potty training department. Konga is ready to find her forever home!

Meet Maya! She is a super sweet girl who is looking for a quiet home. Maya can be quite nervous, especially with new people, and it is obvious she was mistreated in her previous home. Therefore, a home with no young children would be best. Mayas previous owners would also leave her home alone from morning until night, over 10 hours every single day, which she hopes to change in her new home. She would be happy with a family who is around more often, at least often enough to give her attention and affection. She is very smart and a great listener! She knows a handful of basic commands, such as sit and stay, and her recall is excellent. Her new family should be understanding that Mayas past has been less than desirable and it may take time for her to warm up to her family members. However, once she does, she will show you just how much she loves you and appreciates the affection she has been so starved for!

Meet Mia! Mia came into rescue as a stray. It seems Mia was well taken care of and even learned some basic commands before getting away. She is a friendly girl and has done well with all the dogs she meets. She was fostered in the south by a mother and her two children and she loved the kids. Mia is a very active girl. She enjoys going for walks and would probably love hiking and maybe even being a running partner. She loves to do zoomies outside and would truly enjoy a fenced in yard. She will be a wonderful family dog but will need a family who has time to see she gets the exercise and attention she needs. I think you will find she is worth it.

Rhoda is a very sweet and loving girl. She enjoys playing with other dogs and can also occupy herself playing with her toys. She loves to be around her people and cuddling is one of her favorite things to do.
Rhoda is learning some basic commands. She likes to learn, after all it is more time with her person. She likes to play ball - maybe learn to play fetch in a fenced-in yard. Rhoda should do well in almost any home where she is loved and included as part of the family.

Robyn is a 65 lb., 5 yr old female Bluetick Coonhound ready to find a furever family! Before coming to rescue, she had never been in a home and has certainly come a long way. Robyn is a beautiful and affectionate girl who loves to give big and gentle hugs. In addition to a good sprint around the yard, she also enjoys lounging on the couch for a good cuddle. She is extremely food motivated and is never late to dinner. She loves all humans willing to give her hugs and tell her she is beautiful.
Robyn is currently leash trained and great in the car. She is good with other dogs but would do best with another pup with a low to medium energy level as she does not wrestle or play much. She would prefer a home with NO cats or small animals.
If you would like to adopt Robyn, please contact Jaclyn at jaclyngartnerddr@gmail.com.

Meet Sir Isaac Newton! He is a 3-year-old Cattle Dog and Shepherd mix who is looking for a family to call his own! Newton loves to be around people, but is a bit of a shy guy at first. Poor Newton came to the shelter as a stray and it really took a toll on his initial bubbly personality. He became confused, scared, and went from the always happy boy to the always timid boy. But now, he is still a little shy at first, but quickly warms up and becomes best friends with everyone! Playtime with other dogs is his favorite way to release some energy and get his daily exercise in. He has not had any interest in squeaky toys or tennis balls, but perhaps he will find a favorite toy when his new family takes him shopping for the first time. Newton does the most adorable full-body wiggle when he sees a familiar face. He will surely show you every time you walk through the door after a long day at work.

Meet Spot! He is the sweetest little Senior boy who has not at all lost the pep in his step! Spot is a happy-go-lucky pup who loves people and is excellent with children. He enjoys the company of dogs but would likely prefer to be the only dog so he can be King of the castle and have all the attention for himself! He would prefer a cat-free home, as he does like to chase them. Spot hopes to find a family who will take him on walks around the neighborhood, relax with him on the couch, and play with him in the yard! He still has many years ahead of him and needs a forever home to finally call his own! Could that be your home?

PUPPIES GROW INTO the expectations of their families through consistent love, caring and training. Puppies cannot be adopted to homes where they are left unattended for more that 3-4 hours.
Tessa and her siblings, Bronx, Ally and Rose are 4.5 months old and a mix of lab/mcnab/bassett hound. Tessa is a loveable mush ball who loves everyone she meets. She is learning all the basics and is passing them with gold stars. She is mastering leash walking and housebreaking is going very well. She and her sister, Ally, are the low riders of the family. We believe she will grow to about 40 lbs. Tessa and her siblings enjoy playing with their foster cats and dogs as well as their foster granddaughter! After playtime, she loves to snuggle with her humans.

Meet Toby! He is an always-wants-to-play kind of pup! Toby is around a year and a half old and certainly has the appropriate amount of energy for a dog his age, as he is always up for a walk around the neighborhood, fetch in the yard, or a hike along the trails. He is such a cuddly boy and will curl up next to you at the end of a long day. Toby would be happiest in a home that has a yard where he can run around with his new family members! He would not mind sharing a home with another dog but he would prefer a cat-free home, as he simply cannot resist chasing kitties. Toby was a shelter favorite because he is always so incredibly happy and loves to meet new people. His forever family will be very lucky to have such a great dog join their pack!

Meet Winifred! She is just the sweetest girl who is the current favorite at the shelter! This adorable 6-year-old Basset Hound mix is a super friendly girl with a heart of gold. She loves everyone she meets, including all other dogs but especially people! She is also good with cats! Winnie really loves playing with other dogs and can hang with the best of them. She can go from running around the yard to high-energy wrestling to napping next to you on the couch. Unfortunately, Winnie was clearly owned by someone who did not care for her well being, as she has been bred many times. Whomever let her go, we are glad they did such a thing, because now she is safe in Rescue, vetted, spayed, and ready to start her life with a real family. We can not wait for you to meet Winifred!
