The first step to adopting an animal from Wag On Inn Rescue is to fill out an application. Once it is complete, if it looks like your lifestyle might match with the animal, an appointment will be made to come visit. Wag On Inn Rescue uses foster homes, so an appointment MUST be made to visit. No exceptions!

Wag On Inn Rescue is self supported. Our income comes from adoption donations and small donations from the public. Because of this, we need to charge an adoption donation to help defray the costs associated with feeding and the medical treatment for the animals, and also for transport costs for animals coming up from southern states. All of our orphans are brought up to date on medical needs, including spaying/neutering, some are microchiped and dewormed. The adoption donation we require is:

PUPPIES - mix breed (up to a year of age): $350*
Dogs - mix breed (one to two years of age):  $300*
Adult dogs - mix breed (two to four years of age): $250*
Mature Dogs - mix breed (four years to eight years): $200*
Seniors (over eight years old): $100*
Purebred dog (up to eight years old) $350*

*Please note: Some dogs (most under ten pounds) have a higher adoption donation required. Please ask the foster mom for details if you are considering a small breed dog under ten pounds.

For those who don't understand why we have to charge an adoption donation, below are some of the things we pay for before we adopt out the animal. Each animal has it's own particular case and needs different things and come from different locations, but all require expenses that we must get back in order to help others. Ask your vet how much it would cost for some of these common services:

Transport fees
Spay/Neuter
Distemper vaccination
Rabies vaccination
Bordetella
Heartworm test
Microchip

Then there is also the cost of Frontline and Heartguard
not to mention deworming medication, and food and treating any other illnesses..
If a dog has to be treated for heartworm, then you can add another $350(AVG) to their bill. As you can see, fees add up.
