About Each Adoption
You'll sign a contract that requires you to return the pet if for any reason, after any amount of time, the adoption isn't working out. We never want one of our rescues to return to the streets or shelter system.

Our adoption fees range from $85 - $300 depending on the pet's age and health situation.  You'll want to refer to the website or adoption site listing for the fee that applies to your rescued animal. The fee always includes an exam from our veterinarian, spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations (first set for puppies and kittens), deworming and AVID microchip.  Cats are FIV/FELV tested and in some cases, we also include a professional training package. Also, if the animal has suffered from any illness or health condition with treatment still in progress when you adopt him/her, we include medications and cover all related costs until your pet is healed.

It Costs To Save Animals
Please understand that an adoption fee rarely, if ever, covers the expenses we incur for each pet (an average of $400 in medical care per animal plus boarding costs if no foster homes are available). The adoption fee only helps defray some of the expenses. In almost every case, the healthy pet you adopt has suffered neglect and life in the shelter or on the streets wasn't kind to him/her.

Rescuing animals is a passion and a commitment--not a way to make money!  We rely on individual donations, corporate charitable giving programs, fundraising dollars and grant money for that.

Thank You For Choosing A Rescued Pet
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for adopting a rescued pet and not buying one from a breeder or pet store supplied by puppy mill dogs who endure immeasurable amounts of suffering.

Rescued pets are the best...they'll thank you in so many ways for the rest of their lives!
1. You'll complete an online Adoption Application--this is a required first-step for all adoptions
2. You'll be contacted within 24 hours from when your application was submitted
3. After an initial phone interview, if we agree that the pet you're interested in may be a great match, we arrange a meeting time; we require that everyone in the household, including other pets, meet your new potential four-legged family member
4. If there's a "love connection" then we do the home check and official adoption
5. We love our pets and the families who adopt them!
