This foster based rescue was started by two women out of Eugene Oregon, brought together by a common tragedy, the loss of a child and for our love of pit-bulls. Helping animals was our way of healing our broken hearts. Melissa McCall and Whitney Wilmarth pulled together and established, Unbreakabull Rescue Allies in March of 2020. It was just before the Pandemic began, and we still hit the ground running. With the money out of our pockets we got our business set up and our non profit status secured. We took in our first dog just 2 short days after opening. We grew very fast, not only in the number of intakes and adoptions, but also in the number of volunteers and fosters. Although Whitney is no longer a Co director/owner of the rescue, she is still a big part of why and how we started. She still supports us as we do her as well. She is focusing her time more on her family now, while her children are still young, and we support this 100%. We have a small BUT mighty team, and together we are UNSTOPPABULL AND UNBREAKABULL! Our entire team is amazing and we could not function without them. We not only help animals in need but we also help our community members. We have funded dozens of spay and neuters to our low income community members. We have also provided funding to our community for emergency vet appts, surgeries as a result of injuries, dental care, vaccines, food and microchipping. All at no cost. This is partially what adoption fees go towards, along with our other medical dogs, and all our current/long term dog’s needs. We hope to be able to continue our efforts, with enough support from our community.

Adoption Policy
Adoption Process
Unbreakabull Rescue Allies is a foster-based rescue, we are based out of Eugene Oregon, but has fosters all throughout Linn and Lane County. Our dogs are kept in homes with their foster families, we do not have a facility/boarding center. Meet and greets outside of our adoption events are scheduled by appt only and only for approved applicants. It is our policy that we do not “hold” dogs for any reason. If you are not ready to adopt right away. Please do not apply, check back when you are ready to commit. We are all also volunteers, even the Directors. We do this on the side, on top of our full-time jobs. So please be patient with us, we try to respond to as many people as possible, however it does not always happen. If you do not get a reply, please always check your spam folder first, and you are welcome to message us after a couple days for a follow up. If there have been multiple applications for a particular dog, it may take a few days to get through the applications and choose the family who will be best fit for a specific animal. When submitting an application please be sure to complete the entire application including the adoption contract and sign at the bottom. This does not obligate you to adopt an animal; however incomplete application will not be considered, and we will move on to the next applicant.
Once application is approved you will be contacted by the dog’s foster for a phone interview, this will be where you can ask all the questions about your new potential pet, as the foster knows them best. We are very honest and transparent about all of the animals in our care and will tell you the good and bad. This is because we want our dogs and families to be successful and prepared. If you decide to move forward a meet and greet is scheduled. Be prepared to adopt at the meet and greet if all goes well, we do require home visits if you are local, for our out of town adopters we do require you to bring pictures of your home and yard to take place of the home visit. Payment is due at the time of adoption. We accept cash check or Venmo only. If you decide you want to think about it or maybe meet other dogs first, we are totally ok with this. We want there to be a perfect match for every person AND every dog. Just be aware the dog may not still be available later.
