Tails of Hope Dog Rescue has found it necessary to institute a $20.00 non-refundable adoption application fee. The application review process, which includes verifying information, conducting interviews, and arranging home visits, is time-consuming and resource-intensive. This fee helps offset our rising veterinary costs and other expenses related to the care of our rescue dogs. It also helps ensure applicants are serious about adopting, allowing our volunteers to focus their time and efforts on those with genuine intent and discouraging those who are not. Thank you for your understanding and for supporting our mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs in need!
