FAQ’s

  • We have fosters who are willing to take in domestic, exotic and farm animals.

  • Please visit our site and navigate to the “get involved” section. There you will choose which form you need to fill out. Please complete the entire form to the best of your ability and we will get back to you as soon as we can!

  • This is a tricky question because there are SO many species of animals out there who need our help. We have assigned set fees for some and an estimated range for others. We do sometimes also do adoption specials so while the fees below are the listed fees, at times it may be lower.

    They are as follows:

    $90-$125 - Cats/Kittens

    $150-300 - Dogs/Puppies

    $20 for chickens and other fowl.

    For exotic animals and livestock several factors play into their fee(s) such as size, breed, age, health, level of care, etc. Thus, we could not set an exact amount and instead will work with a range.

    The estimated fee ranges are as follows: 

    $20+ for exotics

    $80 - $300 for smaller livestock

    $600+ for larger livestock.

    • All fees are non-refundable

  • Adoption fees primarily cover the costs associated with the animal’s care while in our custody. This includes things like food, basic vaccinations, deworming, spay/neuter when approved by our vets, and potentially other medical treatments like flea and tick prevention as well as operational costs of the rescue. All of our animals will be fully vetted and up-to-date on their vaccinations. Please keep in mind that we are an ALL animal rescue. Therefore we take in all types of animals that require various types of care and costs.

    Animals are adopted as is, and the rescue makes no guarantees or warranties, expressed or implied, regarding the animal's health, temperament, or future behavior. While we have made reasonable efforts to disclose known health conditions, we cannot predict or guarantee the animal's future health. The adopter assumes all risks associated with the animal's health and behavior from the date of adoption. The adopter is encouraged to have the animal examined by a licensed veterinarian within 7 days of adoption.

    All animals of the correct age will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Those that are not will be foster-to-adopt status until the spay/neuter is complete.

  • Please keep in mind that our rescue is an ALL animal rescue. Therefore, the items listed below are not 100% everything we fund. For example, for Horses they need farriers, other types of animals have other needs. The example listing below mainly entails the needs for domestic animals, such as cats and dogs and most certainly does not list everything that is needed.

    • Cages, carriers, bowls, toys, blankets, milk replacer, bathing supplies, grooming supplies and other necessary supplies.

    • Vaccinations, spaying/neutering and other potential treatments for incoming animals.

    • Food, litter, doggie bags, preventative care, emergencies, and emergency supplies.

    • Cleaning supplies, such as cleaning sprays, Clorox wipes, paper towels, trash bags, and other supplies, such as puppy pads.

    • Electricity, water, and other utilities.

    • Operational expenses for the rescue.

    • Transportation costs associated with transporting animals to and from fosters, events, our rescue, vet appointments, etc.

    In many cases, the adoption fee does not completely cover what our rescue has covered for the animal while in our care. For example, one dog being seen by a veterinarian for its initial visit, testing, deworming and shots could cost up to $350 by itself. That does not include any costs associated with their care while in foster care. Our fees are set to ensure that our animals go to individuals who will properly care for them.

  • Our rescue spays and neuters on advice we receive SOLELY by the veterinarians these animals receive care from. Our rescue will ensure that all animals that are recommended to be spayed/neutered by our veterinarians, will be spayed/neutered as part of the adoption process. Those that are too young will be placed under foster-to-adopt status..

  • Yes we are! All monetary donations and adoption fees can be claimed on your yearly taxes!

  • We understand situations change and sometimes an animal adopted can no longer stay with the adoptee. If that happens the animal will need to be returned to the rescue, this is something every application agrees to when signing an adoption or foster to adopt application.

  • This is an option we have when wanting to adopt an animal that is not ready to completely be adopted yet or if someone would like to see if the animal is a good fit for their family.

    The process starts with the appropriate application. If approved, 50% of the animal’s adoption fee must be submitted before the animal can be taken home. This is to show commitment to the adoption and well-being of the animal.

    The animal can then be fostered for a MAX of three weeks before a final decision needs to be made and the remaining 50% of the animal’s adoption fee submitted immediately. The ONLY time this term may be extended is if the animal has a pending spay/neuter surgery.

    We have had way too many foster-to-adopt situations extend past a reasonable amount of time which makes it difficult for us and for the animals. If you are not able to submit the final half of the adoption fee by the deadline then it shows us that the needs of the animal may not be completely met in the future and will most likely request that the animal be returned to the rescue.

  • Once an animal is relinquished it is up to the rescue whether you may adopt the animal back. If the rescue deems the return of the animal will be beneficial to the animal’s needs, then the individual will need to fill out an adoption application as if they were a new adopter and go through the same checks as everyone else.

    Please understand that once relinquished the animal is officially part of the rescue. The rescue is not obligated to return the animal if asked, especially if returning the animal would not be in its best interest.

    The rescue is also not responsible to return any items brought with the animal when relinquished. When those items are dropped off with the animal being relinquished, they then become part of the rescue.
