ADOPTION FEE & INCLUSIONS

If interested in adoption, we ask that you please fill out our online application form. All applications are reviewed and a home check is REQUIRED prior to every adoption.

Our adoption donation fee is $300.00** (payable by cash or check made payable to Mutt Madd-ness). Of course, we always
appreciate and can utilize any additional donations.  

About or adoption donation fee:
We are fortunate to have many healthy pups, but we also have many that require that extra touch - dogs that acquire parvo, have orthopedic issues, birthing mothers needing extra assistance, etc. If we are lucky enough to have a little left over because one of our pups only required the basics - the remaining is applied to those that were less fortunate. So, you can think of your donation as doing double the good -- adopting a lifetime friend and saving another!

Most shelter dogs have a rough start on life and in order to get them healthy and on a level playing field Mutt Madd-ness takes an extra precautionary step and provides preventative treatment to all our newly rescued pups. Our adoption fee includes** all vetting
up to point of adoption plus some additional items:

  • On intake dogs are provided preventative and regular treatment for common health issues found in shelter dogs such as
    fleas, worms, mange or skin issues, infections, coughs, etc.

  • Multiple de-worming

  • Bordetella "Kennel Cough" Vaccine

  • Vaccinations (applicable to age - DHPP, DHLPP, Rabies-administered by vet)

  • Any special medical / surgical / therapy needs during their fostering

  • Ongoing medications and treatment if adopted under advisement of medical issue/concern*

  • Spay or neuter with our rescue vets plus post surgery pain medication

  • Micro-chip (If not spayed/neutered done at the same time - if already spayed/neutered done prior to adoption)

  • Baths, ear cleaning and nail clipping

  • Adoption packet with contract, medical history and special goodies

  • Collar & Mutt Madd-ness I.D. tag

  • Nurturing by fosters (high quality food, water, potty clean up, bedding and toys and lots of hugs & kisses)
    right up until home delivery!
