ABOUT YOUR DONATION
Adopting a rescued dog it is only one step in their journey. Our resources have assisted in their care and many times in their recovery and now upon their adoption, you are continuing this journey. Funds from your adoption donation are used to help offset the cost of rescuing them. We receive no support from governmental agencies and all our expenses are paid for through donations. Each adoption donation only covers a small portion of what it takes to rescue one dog. Your support of Labs and More allows us to save one more dog or puppy from the perils each dog waiting to be rescued faces. Thank you for choosing to adopt a rescued dog!
The good news is your adoption donation can be considered tax deductible as it is a donation to a Non-Profit 501(c)3 Rescue Organization. Please also check with your employer to see if they will match your donation by providing them your adoption agreement receipt.
YOUR DOG/PUPPY ADOPTION INCLUDES
- Your sweet new dog or puppy! ($200-$800 value)
- Spay/Neutering surgery including the Certificate of Sterility ($200-$400)
- Current vaccinations ($45-$160)
- Embedded microchip ($40-$50 value)
- Veterinarian and medical care including the records (can be $100 – $3,500+)
- Adoption collar/lead
- Foster care or boarding care prior to adoption
The cost to rescue just one dog far exceeds the adoption donation. Any additional support or donations are much appreciated and used to rescue additional dogs and puppies.
YOUR ADOPTION JUST SAVED A LIFE! – DOG AND PUPPY DONATIONS
Donations for our rescued dogs are generally $505 for adults and $605 for puppies which includes a refundable required training deposit of $75 (which is done by request after completing a certified training course in the allotted timeframe). The adoption donation includes up-to-date vaccinations, automatically registering microchip, neuter/spay, and any other medical needs from intake with us to date of adoption. All post-adoption medical expenses are the adopter’s responsibility.
We provide all needed care for each dog or puppy based on their current conditions and our incredible veterinarian partner recommendations. Please know that unanticipated medical situations can and most likely will occur post-adoption. Once you have rescued your dog any further medical care is the responsibility of the adopting family. Unfortunately, many of our amazing dogs have lived difficult lives prior to being rescued and some of the conditions associated with this can show up at a later date.
We are a rescue made up of all volunteers who care for the dogs you adopt.
