Available for Adoption

Some people think our adoption fees are high.
Some think they’re just right.
Here’s the truth… 
We don’t cut corners.
We don’t guess.
And we don’t send animals out the door “hoping for the best.”
 We invest in PREVENTION — so YOU don’t get hit with thousands in vet bills later.
Before an animal even steps foot into our facility, we have already invested $400–$600 into:
✔️ Testing
✔️ Medications
✔️ Preventatives
✔️ Initial care
And that’s just the beginning…
🐾 Every animal goes through a minimum 2-week quarantine
🐾 Tested for viruses and parasites
🐾 Treated if needed
🐾 Vaccinated
🐾 Must test NEGATIVE before entering our facility
🐾 Receive their second round of vaccines before adoption
🐾 Spayed or neutered (or scheduled and covered by us)
We don’t rush the process.
We do it RIGHT.
And you know what we hear from vets?
💬 “We’ve never seen a rescue dog this healthy.”
💬 “Your paperwork is incredibly thorough.”
That’s not by accident.
That’s by design.
Because our goal isn’t just to adopt animals out…
 It’s to set them AND their adopters up for success.
So yes — our fees reflect the level of care we provide.
But what you’re really paying for is:
✔️ Peace of mind
✔️ A healthy start
✔️ Fewer surprises
✔️ A rescue that actually does things the right way
🐾 Cheap isn’t always better.
🐾 Done right always is.
If you want a healthy, properly cared for, fully vetted companion…
You’ll understand exactly why we do what we do..
