We treat each of our puppymill survivors as though they were a part of our family.  We put  a large amount of love, time and expenses into each survivors they have in our care.    

 We screen each application and try to make the best possible match for each dog.  Sometimes good applications are passed over because the particular dog they are interested in does not match their lifestyle.  This is unfortunate but our number one priority is our mill survivors. We may at times suggest one of our other rescued mill dogs that will fit in with your family better. 

The adoption fees are based on several factors:  Age, cost for their freedom and veterinary expenses.
Generally, we try to keep a set adoption fee of $275.00  unless indicated on their bio.  At times certain dogs will be a little higher because of the fees or vetting costs we pay.   When a dog has a sponsor, we will reduce their adoption fee.  

We do not make any profits from our adoptions.  Each rescue we take in is checked by a veterinarian, brought up to date on vaccinations according to age and wormed.  We have them heart worm tested and started on prevention. 

 Spays/ neuters and dentals are done per our veterinarians recommendations.  This is why some puppies are adopted on a spay/neuter contract.

We have many that require additional medical needs as well.  Adoption fees at times do not even cover the basic veterinary care.  If we have a puppy that is not altered, you may ask why the fee is so high.  We normally have a standard adoption fee for puppies. This extra money is used to help pay for the rescues that require more extensive vetting.

At times we will lower the adoption fees on particular dogs we have for adoption when we have someone that will sponsor that dog.  This  money goes directly for the care and vetting of that dog.  This also enables us to adopt that dog at a reduced fee. 

Expenses for our rescues included but not limited to:

Pull fees, spays, neuters, dentals, boosters, rabies, heartworm test and prevention, wormings, blood work, hernia repairs, etc   
Dog food both dry and canned,  treats, toys, blankets, wee wee pads, sanitary pads to go inside the belly bands for the boys, paper towels, laundry soap, bleach, fabric  softener, etc.

Before you question about adoption fees, call and ask your vet what the prices are to have a dog altered, checked for heartworm disease, booster, rabies, dental cleaning plus extraction, wormings, etc.   We are sure that you will find our adoption fees are not as high as you thought.

Even though we are a registered 501(c)3 Organization, we do not receive many donations as people think.  We do not have any outside companies that do fundraising for us like many do.   We rely on our past adopters and volunteers to help us with our expenses as well as our fundraisers.

Many times we have fosters that require extensive medical needs and treatments.  Hernias, heartworm disease, periodontal disease, emergencies, etc. are not covered by our adoption fees. 

 Some fosters require daily medications and special foods. You may wish to sponsor one of them to help with their care. 

We are always in need of printing supplies or printers who can donate their services or offer at a discount for our brochures, business cards, etc.   

We desperately need the services of a groomer in certain areas. 

Artisans to offer their services making crafts for our fundraisers.
