The faces below are why we do what we do! All our dogs stay in foster homes while in our care to help us learn their personality to help find the best forever home for them. All our dogs will come to their new families fully vetted - spayed or neutered, up to date on shots, and checked out by a vet.
0-1 - $350
1-3 - $275
4-7 - $225
8+ - $150



Rescues take dogs regardless of age, temperament, and medical condition which lead to higher average medical costs than shelters who can choose to put down a dog for those very reasons.
- Our average vetting per dog is $436 (we take in many sick and injured dogs) and our average adoption fee is $209.
- Dogs with temperament issues can run into the hundreds for trainers who otherwise would have no chance of being adopted due to being labled "aggressive" during shelter intake. (Wouldn't you be a bit aggressive if you were scared?)
- Dogs in our foster care receive flea/tick and heartworm medication (There are almost no discounts for these medications for rescue and cost us the same as they cost you if you already have a dog per month x however many dogs we have in our care)
- One back surgery or treating strays who have been hit by cars can easily run into the $4,000+ range
We take a higher adoption donation on our younger, easier to place dogs, to help further offset the costs for our older and injured dogs, who truly, truly need our help. Adoption fees in no way completely offset the costs of vetting and we subsidize the rest through fundraising efforts and donations.
But the shelter that I have been looking at adopts dogs for $75. Why are your adoption fees so high for younger dogs?
