We work hard to make sure our dogs and puppies are adoption-ready. Our fosters work on leash training, kennel training, potty training, basic commands, and house manners. Please keep in mind however that a lot of the dogs we take in have never lived in a home prior, or have spent significant amounts of time in a shelter environment.
All pets we adopt out are up-to-date on core vaccines, flea/tick prevention, and deworming. Every pet is spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption.
We have the best dogs. Period.
What do the adoption fees cover?
Our adoption fees cover the cost of spay/neuter, microchipping, vaccines, flea/tick prevention and dewormer for the pet you’re adopting, as well as other routine care.
There are many other costs we cover for the animal you’re adopting: pet food, puppy supplies, transportation to and from the Southwest, emergency vet care, enrichment, etc. We spend between $200-$2000 on each pet we adopt out, and any adoption fee funds that don’t go directly to the pet you’re adopting go to medical bills and care for other pets at the rescue.
