Adoptions

We are so happy that you want to join our pack! We love these babies and have taken great care of them. In the next section we have taken our experiences and turned them into questions. Things to think about before adopting! We want you to know that we are in this together, once you adopt from us you are family!



Adoption Fees

Kittens/Cats

$50

Kittens are a ton of work, we spend countless hours raising them, most often from birth, and they become part of our family. When you adopt from us, we make a LIFETIME commitment to you and them. 

Puppies

$300

8 weeks to 1 year, Puppies are a lot of work, we spend countless hours raising them, most often from birth, and they become part of our family. When you adopt from us, we make a LIFETIME commitment to you and them. 

Adult Dogs

$250

1 years to 7 years, we get every dog checked by our vets, and make sure they are vaccinated, spay or neutered, micro-chipped and heartworm tested. We will also do dental work when needed! When you adopt from us, we make a LIFETIME commitment to you and them. 

Senior Dogs

Trained Adult Dogs

$700

1 year or older that have gone through our board and train program. We send some of our more stubborn dogs to board and train, we ge them to learn the basics. This program costs us $2950, but we think every penny spent is beyond worth it. You get a great dog that is well trained and we send a dog to it's forever home that may not have made it otherwise. When you adopt from us, we make a LIFETIME commitment to you and them.

Things to think about before adopting!

There is so much that goes into adopting a new pet. This is a 8-20 year commitment depending on the breed you want to adopt. 


Here are a few questions to ask yourself before applying!


Are you allowed to have an animal where you live? 

We do ask that you provide your rental agreement with the clause about pets. If you own your home, a lot of homeowners insurance have breed restrictions. Make sure you look at it and understand it!


Do you have time for a dog?

Let's be real we are all in a weird place with COVID, some of us now work from home and think it is a great time to get a puppy. You have lots of time and it seems perfect. But have you thought about when your work switches back to in office? What will you do with your new best friend? 


Do you have the patience to train a puppy?

Potty training is hard work! It take lots of consistency and patience. How will you keep your puppy busy and out of trouble?


OK you have made it this far and you think it's the right time...


Do you have everything for the arrival of your new dog?

Crate, Food, Bowls, Leash, Collar, Bed


Do you have a vet selected?

If you are new to pet ownership ask your friends and family who they recommend. We love our partners at VCA Sunset Animal Medical Center! If you already have a vet make sure you call and get an appointment right away!

We have saved so many lives, with out our adopters we would not be able to save more mama's and babies!
