I understand that if approved the adoption fee is $350 to adopt a dog and $100 to adopt a cat (unless otherwise notes). Higher fees may apply for specialty breeds. The fee is due at the time of adoption. (enter initials) *
DOG ADOPTION FEES Our adoption fee for dogs is $350 - that includes a wellness exam, all age-appropriate vaccines, spay/neuter surgery (if applicable), heartworm testing when age appropriate, heartworm treatment if necessary, worming, microchip and registration, flea/tick treatment, PLEASE NOTE - we do offer discounted adoption fees to families adopting more than one dog, senior dogs and dogs with special needs when possible. ADDITIONALLY, higher fees may apply for specialty breeds and purebred dogs. Our adoption fees for cats and kittens is $100 per cat/kitten. Our cats/kittens have received all age-appropriate vaccines; spay/neuter surgery, FIV/FELV testing, worming, microchip and registration, and flea/tick treatment. (enter initials) *
Regarding our adoption fee: We are often asked, "Why do you charge "so much" for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a "good home"?" The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support ALL of our rescued animals, not just the one they are adopting. A young, healthy dog might cost us $250-$400 in (discounted) vet care to prepare it for adoption, and many people will want to adopt that dog. An older dog or a special needs dog or a dog with health issues can easily cost us $500-$2,000 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care to prepare such a dog for adoption. Yet for a senior dog or a special needs dog, we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt it. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others who need us. Most of our dogs have a sad story to tell, and some have suffered through years of neglect or abuse. We hope that you are willing to help us offer a better life to ALL of our animals by supporting them through our adoption fees. Without these adoption fees, we would not be able to save the lives that we save. (enter initials) *
