With any new pet, it is important to take it slow. There is a general rule in adopting dogs called the 3-3-3 rule. The 3-3-3 rule is a general guideline that represents the phases of a rescue dog or common milestones your new dog or puppy will go through… it is the first 3 days, 3 weeks, and 3 months after bringing your dog home from the shelter.
Here is a link for more information.

Whether fostering or adopting, there is a process for introducing a new pup into a family. While the dogs have been out of the shelter for a few weeks, they have just traveled for 24 hours straight. They do go for walks, and they eat their meals, but just as the journey would be tough on us, it is tough on them. Please be sure to follow the decompression protocol which helps them to settle their anxiety and get used to the people, pets, and scents at their new home. I can assure you this will help your dog adjust in a much more comfortable way. If they can ease their stress and anxieties, they can be open to a new situation, but too much too fast is not a set up for success. Please review the link below to learn more about decompression. This link is a suggestion for your reference.

Pep's Pals Rescue classifies mixed‑breed dogs using a combination of visual identification, behavioral traits, and experience. Most organizations rely on visual assessment, which is widely used across adoption platforms. Pep's Pals Rescue does our best to classify animals, and cannot guarantee identifications.
Shelter and street animal transport is a coordinated process that moves adoptable/foster animals from overcrowded shelters to regions with higher adoption demand. Pep's Pals Rescue completes vetting and obtain health certificates that travel. We use two types of transport services; relay to relay and professional animal transport vans. Animals are then loaded onto ground or air transports equipped with secure kennels, climate control, and scheduled breaks to minimize stress. After traveling—sometimes hundreds of miles—they arrive at a planned location, where their foster or adopter will take them home. This system saves lives by relieving overcrowded shelters and connecting dogs with families ready to give them a forever home. Transport services are fee based.

If animals are old enough, they are spayed/neutered and microchipped.
Our animals come from shelters, owner surrenders, streets, and rescue partners. Many were at risk of euthanasia or came from unsafe situations.
Yes, depending on the animal and transport availability. Additional requirements may apply.

Donate to help us provide life-saving care and put an end to the overpopulation through spaying/neutering.
Also, please consider fostering for us as we can't save lives without fosters!
