Our Adoption Dontion

 is based on the cost of care the animal receives while in our care and can range from $150.00 to $250.00

 COSTS INVOLVED WITH RESCUING AND VETTING A DOG BEFORE ADOPTION

A RESCUE IS__A group or group of people who pull animals from high kill shelter's and place animals in foster homes until a forever home can be found. While waiting for the right home they work with the animals in basic behavior training. (house breaking, crate training, simple commands as "sit" "stay" "come" ect.) And animals are fully vetted.

 
Many Rescue's
do not have vets who will reduce the fees on vetting for the animals so alot of us pay full price for vetting. In order for us to help more animals we must charge an adoption donation based on the costs of vet care recieved.

REMEMBER THAT THE ADOPTION DONATION GOES TO HELP ANOTHER ANIMAL HAVE A CHANCE AT LIFE!!!

Many shelter's
have vets who will spay/neuter their animals at a reduced rate. The average shelter will worm,vaccinate (dhlpp & bordatella,) and spay or neuter for the adoption fee they charge. 


 COSTS FOR BASIC VET CARE FOR OUR RESCUED ANIMALS. 

Spay_                       $150—for a medium size dog
Neuter                       $130---for a medium size dog
DHLPP Vaccine_____$20.00
Bordetella Vaccine___$12.00
Rabies Vaccine_____$15.00
Heart  WormTest____$30.00
Heart Gaurd Plus____$7.17 per month for a medium sized dog
Advantage_________$8.50 per month for a medium sized dog


So PLEASE think about this the next time you say to a rescuer "Your Fee's Are Unreal" or "I can get a dog cheaper at my shelter" If you can get one cheaper at your shelter then please do so, they need homes too.

A good RESCUE does not make money doing this. If anything, we are always in the hole and knee deep in vet bills. We trust these animals to come into our homes and be with us, our children, and our personal pets. These animals live with us, and are a part of our family until they are adopted. We do this because of our Love for Animals. We are no different than the groups who work to save abused children, or groups that work to find cures for illness. Everyone has their own calling and ours just happens to be animals.

Our Adoption Donation is set so that we can provide fully vetted, healthy adoptable dogs to you if this is out of your financial range please look at your local shelter.

Thank You for taking the time read and understand.
