Did you know that the Dogs’ Refuge Home is almost entirely self-funded? This means that our Adoption Fees are used to help cover some, but certainly not all of the costs associated with rescuing and re-homing our dogs. Unfortunately rescuing dogs and giving them a second chance is quite costly and without charging an adoption fee we wouldn’t be able to save the lives of thousands of dogs each year.
Our adoption fee helps cover pre-treatment vet works including sterilisation, vaccination, microchipping, flea and worming, behaviour assessment, training and food expenses, however the cost to rescue and re-home a dog is considerably more than our adoption fee. We feel that every one of the dogs in our care is worth every cent we invest in them.
- ADULT DOGS (ages from 6 months to 7 years) $590
- PUPPIES (up to 6 months) $790
- SENIOR DOGS (over 7 years) $490
PLEASE NOTE: To adopt a dog you must either be a Citizen, Permanent Resident or visa holder with the intention to remain in Australia for the foreseeable future. If a move is on the horizon in the future- you must be prepared to relocate WITH your new doggie family member.
