Additional adoption info

Our adoption fees are usually anywhere between $350-$700, depending on where the dog has come from and any medical conditions that the dog may have. Since we adopt out senior & special needs sighthounds, we occasionally do have dogs with ongoing medical needs.
All dogs come with a microchip, spayed/neutered, & up to date on all vaccinations. We also provide support for the first month with a volunteer buddy, who can answer questions and provide support as the dog settles into his new life. We also provide support for the life of the dog!
