Please provide any additional information you would like us to know about yourself and/or your family:
Donations help us cover the costs associated with rescuing dogs. These costs include, but are not limited to, transportation (we pay $150 per dog to transport to AZ), veterinary care, spay/neutering, dental work, microchipping, administrative costs, and everything in between. On average, each healthy dog we receive with minimal health issues, can cost our rescue up to $3,000. Our rescue is unique in that we have to pay to remove these dogs from puppy mills and/or the midwestern breeding system. All of this is why we require an adoption fee of $850 to $1,500 per adult dog. The adoption fee for puppies will vary as we do not subsidize the overall cost of a puppy with donations. We are a 100% all volunteer 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Absolutely no one from this rescue is paid a salary. Thank you for your support!
