Adoption Fee :  $290.00

All adoption donations include a comprehensive health exam, current vaccinations, heartworm test, fecal, spay/neuter, microchip/Registartion fee's and flea/tick preventative. 

Please remember that the adoption donation is not for the purchase of a dog, but rather to cover the medical cost of all dogs in our care. 

Our adoption fees are too high you say??

Consider the following chart of FREE DOG vs. RESCUE DOG

BASIC EXPENSES	ADOPTING A RESCUE DOG	FREE DOG

DHLPP Vaccination	Included	$14 average
Rabies Vaccination	Included	$14 average
Kennel Cough Vaccination	Included	$14 average

This chart can be a bit deceiving, considering it is very rare that a boxer entering rescue only requires the basic care shown above.  Most dogs also require parasite and kennel cough treatment.  Also, mange, ear mites, lump removals, biopsies, broken bones etc.

*Note: Not all items listed under basic expenses are representative of what NCBR covers/provides.
