ADOPTION INFORMATION
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING ONE OF OUR PETS,
YOU MUST FILL OUT AN ONLINE APPLICATION FIRST.
We do not make appointments to meet our pets until you have an approved application.
WE DO NOT HAVE A SHELTER. WE DO NOT SHIP ANY OF OUR ANIMALS.
If you have filled out an application and have not heard back, you are more than welcome to email us
and ask about the status of your application. We often have dozens or more applications on a
particular dog/puppy and don't have time to email everyone to tell them if they have not been approved.
Adoption Fees
Our adoption fees are based on the amount of vet care put into each animal and also the age of the animal.
All of our animals are fully vetted prior to adoption!
This includes:
-
Spay/neuter
-
Vaccinations
-
Heartworm test (if the animal is old enough)
-
De-worming
-
Flea/tick/heartworm medication
The adoption fee that we receive goes directly to our bill at the vet. We do not have overhead costs such as payroll, building costs, marketing, advertising, etc so you can rest assured that your adoption fee goes directly to vet bills and animal care items like food, toys, bones, crates, paper towels, etc. A New Leash on Life Rescue is a 501c3 organization, so your adoption fee is also a charitable donation that you may claim on your taxes. Adoption fees are non-negotiable.
Refunds
The donation is not a sale price, but a request to defer or reimburse NLOL for any and all medical expenses, or any other expenses incurred by the dog or rescuer to consider dog for adoption. This "adoption fee" is not refundable, regardless of whether the dog is returned to NLOL rescue or not. These donations are used solely for the care of dogs in our rescue program. The primary use of funds is for medical care of current and future dogs in our program.
