Our adoption fees vary between $150-$350 depending upon the age of the dog, whether or not it is a pure bred or a cross, and if it is a trained livestock guardian dog. Please inquire for adoption fees on a specific dog.
Adoption fees enables us to:
- Spay or neuter the dog
- Fully vaccinate, including Rabies
- Heartworm Test
- Fecal--test and treat for internal parasites
- Treat for external parasites
- Give a general veterinary exam
Please Note: Our rescues will not be available to working LGD homes unless the dog has been tested and evaluated with livestock and has proven to be trustworthy with them. We cannot adopt a dog out for a specific job unless we know the dog is able to do that particular job.
Our adoption policies are as follows:
- You must be at least 21 years of age to adopt.
- ALL ADOPTIONS REQUIRE SECURE FENCING, MINIMUM HEIGHT OF 4.5 FT, MUST BE "DOG PROOF" --- "invisible" fencing is discouraged.
- We require a home visit before any application can be approved.
- We require a signed adoption contract, and payment of adoption fee prior to placement.
- Fee is non-refundable.
- We require that the dog be returned to our care, in the event the placement does not work out. We will take any of our rescues back, regardless of the reason. We only ask that you give us 2 weeks notice, in order for us to find foster care for the dog.
- We do not adopt out intact dogs--ALL of our rescues are spayed or neutered prior to placement.
- We do not adopt to homes if the dog will be exclusively an outside dog. This does not apply if the dog is a working livestock guardian dog.
- All of our adoptions are under a 30 day probationary period. Restrictions apply, please refer to the adoption contract.
- We reserve the right to refuse any applicant.
- Adoptions will not be possible if you are more than 1,000 miles from the location of the dog. Transport assistance may be available, please inquire
