FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ'S)
Why are your adoption fees so high?
Adoption Fees: $150-$200
We would love to charge a lower adoption fee for our rescued pets, to help them into loving forever homes. Unfortunately, we have to try and recover a PORTION of the cost of vetting our animals to continue our mission to rescue homeless unwanted pets.
•We are not funded by city or county government like Animal Control.
•We do not have large private donors, corporate sponsors, or marketing departments like the Humane Societies and ASPCA's.
•We rely on private donations from caring concerned citizens.
•We rescue from high kill shelters in North East and Central Florida, who provide NO vet care whatsoever, prior to rescue. Many of these animals are sick or injured when rescued and require addition care at our expense.
We provide ALL our rescues with the following:
Description Average Cost
Spay or Neuter $60-$100
Vaccinations $40-60
Fecal Testing (for parasites) $30
Heartworm Testing & treatment $30-$600
Micro chipping $10
Flea Medication $15 each month in rescue
Heartworm Preventative $15 each month in rescue
Bath and Grooming $15 each month in rescue
All other treatments needed $10-????
Dog Food and Special need Foods $100-500 per month
Boarding-donated foster homes $0
We hope you can understand the only way that we are able to continue to rescue and save animals in need from these shelters, is by applying your adoption fee to the next lucky animal we are able to save from euthanization.
We are a 501 ( c ) 3 tax exempt organization and all donations are tax deductible. Thank you for your understanding and supporting the animals!
