When we pull a dog from the shelter that is scheduled for euthanasia we need funds to spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinate. The cost for this ranges from $120- $200 depending upon the vet. All dogs are pulled from the shelter and go directly to a local vet to be immediately cared for before we transport to our rescue. Therefore costs will vary. We also pull many dogs that are in need of medical attention which adds to our normal vetting cost. It is common to pull a dog that is heartworm positive, has mange, bacterial skin infections, emaciated, diabetic or has other medical issues. We can not pull a dog if we don’t have the funds to pay for their medical bills.
This has always been a struggle for us, and we have had to turn down many dogs because of inadequate funds. Donations to this fund will be used for dogs that are in need of rescue and/or to pay for a vet bill that is still owed. If we have a foster home available , and the funds to pay for the medical bill we can pull the dog once it is temperament tested
