My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**Special Needs Adoption**

Hi! My name is Rico and I'm looking for a loving home to call my own!

I am 8yrs and I've been back at the shelter since November 10th.

I am a very sweet and silly dude who loves nothing more than meeting new people! I am an older guy with some health issues but you know that wont stop me! I enjoy romping around chasing balls, though I don't usually bring them back but maybe one time! I like stretching my legs on short walks and I don't pull much I promise! I am more independent and enjoy my space but I also wont mind a spot on the couch next to you.

My ideal home would be vigilant with keeping up on my medical needs. I have been in multiple home with other animals and have done great. I am getting older and a little less tolerant of other dogs. No issues if I am the big baby in the home, getting all the love and attention I deserve.

If you are interested in adopting me, please visit Animal Allies at 4006 Airport Road or you can call the Adoption Team at 218-722-5341 as early as 10:30 AM and place a nonrefundable $25 hold towards my adoption fee to put you first in-line to adopt! Our adoption team is available via phone Tuesday-Saturday from 10:30am-6:00pm and Sunday 10:30am-4:00pm. Our adoption process is first come first serve.

RICO'S ADOPTION FEE: $200 plus tax. This fee is used for the extensive costs associated with vetting and otherwise caring for Rico and future pets at our shelter. Every adopter from Animal Allies receives a pet that has been spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. Our pets also receive dental work or other treatments when necessary. In addition, Animal Allies provides free lifetime post-adoption counseling to help with any behavioral issues or concerns you may have for your new pet!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Animal Allies has variable adoption fees. A higher adoption fee does not mean that we value a particular animal over another; it is simply a matter of supply and demand. Animals that are in higher demand and are adopted quickly have higher adoption fees, which then create a financial legacy for the animals that stay in our care for a longer period of time.

CAT ADOPTION FEES
Cat and kitten fees range from $25 to $255. Please see the individual pet descriptions for detailed adoption fees and information. Feline adoption fees include: microchip and registration, medical exam, age-appropriate vaccinations, spaying/neutering, fecal exam, and feline leukemia/FIV testing.

DOG ADOPTION FEES
The adoption fees for dogs and puppies range from $75 to $525. Please see the animal descriptions for individual adoption fees. Fees for dogs are based on a number of factors such as age, size, breed, or temperament. Canine adoption fees include: microchip and registration, medical exam, age-appropriate vaccinations, spaying/neutering, fecal exam, flea and tick treatments, and heartworm testing.

Animal Allies accepts cash, money orders, and VISA/MC/Discover. Adoption fees are subject to a Duluth sales tax rate of 8.875%. As a convenience for Duluth residents we are able to assist with your license application at the time of adoption. The City of Duluth pet licenses are available for $12.50 per year. Hermantown licenses are available at the time of adoption for a $12 fee. License fees are in addition to adoption fees.

ADOPTION FEE DISCOUNTS
Pets for the Elderly: Animal Allies receives grant funding from a nationwide program that encourages seniors to adopt companion animals. All adopters age 60 or older receive a $50 discount on any Animal Allies adoption fee.

Buddy Program: When adopting two cats at once, the total adoption fee will be reduced by $25. If adopting two dogs or a dog and a cat, the total adoption fees will be reduced by $50.
