Adoption fees run anywhere from $ 150.00 to $ 550.00 (depending on the dog and the costs to save it).
These fees are used for our rescued dogs well being.
We make sure each dog that comes into our rescue is spayed or neutered before it is adopted.
All required vaccinations are provided.
Because we specialize in Death Row Dogs, many of them require special medical attention.
Some dogs require surgeries including expensive orthopedic surgeries, dental work, various routine
medications like flea treatments and de-worming medicines, specialized medications to get them
healthy for adoption like ear, eye, antibiotic, and medications, and other veterinary services.
Many dogs also require professional bathing and grooming.
Adoption fees are also used to pay for transporting the dogs from shelters to Seattle and many are a
good five to six hour round trip.
We have to pay for leashes, collars, dog food, dog tags, food bowls, and our needs list is endless.
No dog should ever be given away for FREE!
A "Free to good home" ad is one of the biggest mistakes a person that truly loves their pet can make.
These ads draw animal abusers, and Class B dog dealers that sell dogs to medical research institutions. Research laboratories are willing to pay $200.00 for a dog. Gangs are always looking for Pitt Bull bait and will use free or cheaply obtained dogs for that purpose. All of these "adopters" can be very convincing about how they are going to give the animal the best care, care for it forever, etc.
Adoption fees coupled with post adoption welfare checks help ensure that rescued dogs go to bona fide loving adoptive homes.
Adoption fees screen out the people who can not afford vet care.
If you can not afford the adoption fee, you can not afford vet care.
No one in animal rescue gets rich from charging adoption fees. For every dog or cat that comes to the rescuer spayed/neutered, and in great condition, there are several others who's actual veterinary costs will never be recovered in the adoption fee.
That is why donations to animal rescue groups are always welcomed! |
