Adoptions
The dogs may be subject to adoption fees and other requirements depending on each organizations policies.
Unleash Love
At Mattox Dog Training Academy, we want to help shine a spotlight on amazing pups, young and old. Just as we have partnered with Mikey’s Chance Canine Rescue, we also work with other local rescue organizations and nonprofits and want to showcase their dogs that need adoption or a foster family. Each adoption is a story of hope, resilience, and unwavering loyalty. When you welcome a new pup, young or old, into your home, you gain a loyal companion who will fill your days with joy, laughter, and unconditional love. Experience the immeasurable rewards and open your heart to a new beginning filled with love, laughter, and endless tail wags.
