Adoption Process

Each dog in our care has spent a minimum of one week in a foster home and has undergone a general examination by a veterinarian. With few exceptions, all dogs are spayed or neutered and current on their vaccinations. We incur considerable expenses for shelter redemption, veterinary care, transportation, and behavioral evaluations, which is why we request an adoption fee for each dog. The cost may vary, as some dogs require more resources than others. In cases where we receive surplus funds for a dog, those funds will be directed towards rescuing another dog or assisting with the needs of current dogs. Please note that, except in special circumstances related to health, adoption fees are non-refundable if a dog is returned for any reason. The adoption fee schedule is as follows: $400 for puppies under 1 year $300 for dogs aged 1-3 years $250 for dogs aged 4-7 years $150 for dogs aged 8 years and older (This fee includes all vaccinations, microchipping, and spaying/neutering.) There is also a $20 fee for the application and home inspection.

Service Areas

We serve the areas of Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and Orange Counties.
