Additional adoption info

Adoption Fees include everything your pup needs to get a perfect start in your Forever Family. All fees go towards fostering and adoption requirements: food, bowls, beds, kennels, collars, leashes, spay/neuter surgery, chip, parvo/distemper, rabies & bordetella vaccines. Any funds that exceed these costs are used for pups with greater medical needs and administration costs such as websites, advertising and training. We depend heavily on our fosters and volunteers who graciously donate their time and homes to our pups.

If your first question before adopting a pup is "How much are your fees?", then please do your research around the cost of bringing a new pup into your family before adopting.
