Second Chances Fund

Adoption fees vary based on the breed, age, condition, and expenses incurred in order to rehabilitate, transport, and board. Typically, fees range from $525 – 1200. This rescue spares no expense on giving these dogs every opportunity for a second chance at a happy, healthy life: from expensive, complicated surgeries to compound prescriptions and food and individualized schedules. The transport fee alone to bring one dog to Vermont is between $175 – $200. Spays, neuters, vaccinations, heartworm testing, and deworming, which is performed before transport for each dog, can total upwards of $500. Individualized daily care for each dog totals between $12 and $24/day, depending on medications and special requirements and needs.
