Adoption Fee Information

Adoption fees help to ensure that animals get the care they need and that rescues can continue operating. They also help ensure that the homes adopting the animals have the financial means to adequately provide for their ongoing care and needs.

Our costs include, but are not limited to:

• Spay/Neuter, Vaccines, Dewormer & Flea Treatment, Supplements
• Breed Analysis/DNA
• Food and Supplies: bones and chew toys, dog houses, water and food dishes, leashes and collars, toys, crates, towels
• Housing and Transportation: kennels, additional fencing needed for fosters homes, vehicle/gas for transport to/from meet and greets, adoption events, etc
• Adoption Counseling and Cupport for Adopters

We understand that some people may be hesitant to adopt a pet if they have to pay an adoption fee. At Crux Pet Adoptions, we believe that the benefits of adoption far outweigh the cost. When you adopt a pet from a rescue, you are giving them a second chance at life and also helping to reduce the number of animals who are euthanized in shelters each year. You may pay more up front than if you get one from someone giving an animal away, but you usually save money, time, and grief. Animals have worth and are not something to be taken lightly or passed around.

We hope this information helps to explain why animal rescues charge adoption fees. We appreciate your understanding and support.
