You don’t have to pay for your dog. However, we ask for an adoption donation from you of $380 (whatever size dog you are adopting).  Your adoption donation is used to bring your dog up to good health including spaying and neutering, vaccinations, flea and worm treatment, training where necessary and vet medical clearance before you take her or him home. Puppies adopted out under 12 weeks come with special requirements. An adoption coordinator can provide you with more information.
