Sponsorship Adoption

These animals "sponsor" other animals in the rescue that require extensive medical care such as an intensive surgery or long term care.
Application Fee $20
Over the last few years the volunteers who process applications found themselves spending hours processing applications only to get a “I already got a dog”, “ I’m no longer interested” , “I forgot I even applied” and I’m still looking” wasting so much time- so the application fee takes care of people that are not serious about adopting from applying.
Spend $20 and you show commitment to the process.
Also, that $20 bucks helps to offset the hight medical costs. We don’t accept an unlimited number of application and fees, it’s limited. In some cases it gets cut off and done at 5- if those that applied meet the criteria (needs a fence etc) and in some cases we have to keep looking so we keep the application process open.
In most cases we’re accepting 1 or 2 applications and on popular dogs like puppies we try to accept 5. It’s not a rule but more of a moving target depending on the applications we receive.
On medical cases or dogs that need the perfect home we may accept more to find it.
It’s that simple. You do not have to pay the fee, you do not have to apply. The sad thing about adopting a dog is you can find one in a million places.
