Frequently Asked Question:
Why do you charge an adoption fee rather than give the animals away for free?
As a non-profit, SG does not receive government funding and relies soley on donations and adoption fees to operate.The average expenses for an animal at Saving Grace are approximately $600 – 1000. We make sure we adopt out dogs that have received all medical care and vetting necessary for a successful start. Each animal is given a routine physical, spayed/neutered, microchipped, dewormed and given needed vaccines, and intake medication. They are tested for heartworms and treated if necessary and we monitor other possible issues and treat as necessary.
You’ll find that if you call any veterinarian’s office, typical vet fees for similar services would far surpass the adoption fees. Once you learn more about Saving Grace Animals for Adoption – you’ll not only understand why … you may even choose to get involved!
