Additional adoption info

Each applicant will complete an Adoption Application (located at www.RichmondRuffHouse.org/adopt.html) and submit to the rescue for review and approval and to schedule a one-on-one consultation. Once the initial application is reviewed & approved for processing, a home inspection may be required. Adoption Fee: $300 for puppies (under 6 months of age) or $250 for adult dogs (6 months and older). Adoption fees are used to help support our rescue efforts and allow us to save additional dogs in need.

All dogs are spayed or neutered, given age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, treated for fleas, and if old enough, tested for heartworms and given their initial dose(s) of heartworm preventatives.
