Dogs in Foster Care

Individual prices are on the web site.

Why do we sometimes charge more than dogs sold from the pound? Because any dog in the pound needing medical expenses is destroyed unless we rescue it out of the pound. As a result we have huge vet bills and the adoption fees do not cover our expenses. Many of these animals are being sold from Pet Shops as cute puppies, they are also poorly bred and need large vet bills just to live a life free of pain. If we are to continue saving these lives we need more funds.

Cats in Foster Care

Kittens up to 6 months	$150
Adult cats 6 months to 5 years	$90
Cats over 6 years	$60

This price includes the dog/cat being vet-checked, vaccinated, microchipped, and desexed. These prices are discounted considerably and would nearly be half the price you would normally pay for these services at a vet.
