Update Jan 2, 2026
The Rising Cost of Adoption Fees 

Our veterinary expenses have increased dramatically over the past year, with our primary veterinary partner raising surgical prices AGAIN this week. Because of these rising medical costs, we’ve had to adjust our adoption fees—something we truly hoped to avoid.

​

We do not use a flat adoption fee. Instead, each puppy’s fee reflects their individual medical needs and expenses, transportation costs, and other factors involved in their care. Spay and neuter surgery prices also vary based on a puppy’s size and age, which contributes to the difference in adoption fees. Many dogs who have been here over 3 months have a reduced adoption fee, which does not cover our expenses. Please refer to the dog/puppy description for their adoption fee. 

​

Unlike county funded organizations, we receive no public funding. We are all volunteers and do not get paid a salary.  Our rescue operates entirely on adoption fees and the generosity of donors. Donations, however, have been lower than usual, which makes it even harder to keep up with rising expenses.

​

Thank You for understanding....
