Adoption Fees All puppies and adult dogs are current on vaccinations and monthly preventatives. Additionally, all adult dogs are spayed or neutered. The adoption fees are as follows: - Puppies under 1 year: $350. Puppies that are too young to be spayed or neutered will be adopted with a Spay/Neuter Contract, which includes a $50 deposit that will be refunded upon submission of proof of spay or neuter. - Dogs aged 1 to 6 years: $300 - Dogs aged 7 to 9 years: $250 - Dogs aged 10 years and older: $100 - Dogs aged 7 and older adopted by individuals aged 60 and above: Free (donations are welcome) If transportation assistance is needed for distances over 3 hours from the foster home to the adopter, an additional fee ranging from $50 to $150 will apply, based on the distance. Please note that all dogs are adopted with a two-week trial period. If you determine that the dog is not a suitable fit for your household and return the dog to the rescue within two weeks of adoption, the adoption fee will be refunded.
