Why does GRRF charge an adoption fee?
Fees are kept as low as possible. We charge a fee to cover our medical and educational expenses. Each animal has a full physical exam at Aurora Animal Clinic. Prior to adoption, we make sure that each dog is up to date on shots, that they are neutered or spayed, that hips are x-rayed for arthritis or other problems and the dog is tattooed with GRRF and a FNSB ID number. Dogs over 5 years of age also have additional tests such as blood work, to make sure they are healthy prior to placement. The fee helps cover expenses, although often we spend more than the adoption fee.
