By adopting your new best friend from ABRT, you'll give an at-risk dog a new leash on life.


We're committed to making every adoption a happy and successful one. We've put a simple, tried-and-true adoption process in place to make it happen. Because we are a foster home based rescue, the process might take a little bit longer than walking into a shelter, but once complete, the adoption will be truly rewarding and will come with education, training, and a lifetime of support from the experts at ABRT.

the benefits of adopting from all breed rescue & training

Know your dog before you adopt.

  • We put a lot into the "getting-to-know you" phase of our relationship with each rescue so we can learn all of our dogs' behaviors and match you with a dog who best fits your lifestyle. To do this, all of our rescues live in foster homes for a minimum of two weeks before we can introduce you.


  • In addition, our on-site, certified trainers provide proven positive-reinforcement and relationship-based training that's customized for each rescue to prepare our dogs for forever homes.


  • Get ABRT Support for Life - We provide the follow-up support you need throughout the life of the dog, from answering questions to providing an additional behavior assessment.

So you've fallen snoot over boots...

10. Make sure it's a perfect fit.

After completing a 7 to 14 day trial period, during which time the dog can be returned to All Breed for a refund of the adoption fee*, All Breed office staff will call to schedule your free training session.


*Owners can return a dog during this trial period and receive a full refund of the adoption fee. After this period, we will not provide a refund, but we will take the dog back into our care if necessary (refer to individual contracts for more on this). It's our goal to send our rescues to a home where the dog is considered part of the family and where the family is willing to make a life-long commitment to the dog's well being.
