Adoption Fees
Our rescue runs solely on donations and adoption fees. Adoption fees may vary depending on the dog and their needs, dogs with special needs or behavioral issues may have lower adoption fees. Specific breeds/purebreds or high adoptable may have higher adoption fee’s. High adoptable dogs are those with multiple applications, adoption fees are to help us with medical cost on our other dogs in rescue.

Our adoption fees are set according to what we have done for the dogs. People want to adopt healthy dogs that have all needed things done so they wont need to spend additional on medical. This is something we make sure is done for all our dogs. We are a rescue group and not a shelter therefore we’re unable to lower the fees because we don’t have vets on staff. All our dogs are fixed, up to date on shots, dewormed, and microchipped. Alot of the adoption fee doesn't include additional testings we have done (fecal test, parvo test, blood test, xray, etc) for those that need additional care.
Our medical funds are kept for emergencies or if we rescue a dog that requires medical attention. Our adoption fees also help cover the ongoing cost for food, materials, training, for dogs in foster care. These are all factors we need to include into our overall fees. We will waive adoption fees for certain dogs depending on the situation if the home is a very good fit. Our main goal is to make sure the dog finds a loving home and that we can continue to save more in need.
