Why does C.A.R.E. charge for adoption of animals?
There are two answers to this question. First, there is a significant cost involved in the process of rescue, shelter and medical care for each of the animals we offer for adoption. Our adoption fees are not designed to generate a profit, only to partially recoup the expenses we incur to ensure that each animal is suitable for placement into its new home. Second, our first concern in the adoption process is to find the best home for the animals in our care. The adoption fee is your first commitment to providing a good home. We want you to know that your new pet will be an expense. With proper vet care, a nutritious diet, and general care, it may cost up to $500.00 a year to keep a companion animal. Our charges are modest considering all they include. Please click on the link to review the C.A.R.E.
