The Adoption Fee
An adoption fee is required for any animal adopted from this organization and reflects a portion of the costs incurred by this organization during the rehabilitation period for each animal. The adoption fee is standard for each animal and does not change in regards to the costs incurred for each animal. Every animal has different needs therefore the costs that we incur can change greatly between animals. The adoption fee does change depending on how much we have spent on any given animal and is not negotiable.
Adoption fees have multiple purposes. One, is to attempt to assure that the animal is going to a home where he/she is truly wanted and where getting an animal for 'free' is not the objective. The other, is to simply help us in covering the costs accumulated by each animal's veterinary, rehabilitation, and adoption needs. We do not expect our adopters to cover the entire amount that we have spent on a particular animal as rescuing animals is something that we love to do, however the adoption fee does reflect a portion of what is needed in order to operate a succesful organization.
This organization operates solely by donation and the adoption fee assists us in keeping this organization running. We thank our adopters greatly for understanding the necessity of the adoption fee.
