Our adoption fees are based on several factors. Please know that what we charge in adoption fees generally represents only a fraction of what our organization has spent to bring that foster’s vetting current. We have often heard we should find vets willing to donate their services to our organization for free. While the idea of that is lovely (and here us when we say we would love free vet care) — it is not realistic. Vets have bills to pay and overhead at their own offices — they cannot afford to give their services away to us for free. Our vet partners have graciously agreed to give us significant discounts on our vetting care to help us make ends meet. We do try to take advantage of spay/neuter incentives offered to rescue organizations in our respective areas but often find that the level of care our fosters need surpasses what can be provided at low cost spay/neuter clinics.
