PAW First Rescue

ADOPTION FEES Adoption fees can vary. Animals may require different medical treatment. Every now and then, a pet will be listed as a VIP. This means that they are in high demand for adoption and will quickly find a loving home. Because of this, they will leave a financial legacy for the other animals in our care who may need expensive medical care or more time to find a loving home. OUR POLICIES First, an application must be filled out completely and approved. Since we are a group of foster homes and do not have a facility, we make appointments for meeting with prospective adopters. Please understand that this is a GROUP policy..not individual. We have to do this in When pets are too young for spay/neuter, there is a refundable deposit that is required by the State of Oklahoma. After the pet is altered, send a copy of the vet receipt and we will mail the deposit to you. It is rare that we do adoptions like that since we do believe in early age spaying/neutering. We have done alot of research on this topic. This is one example: The American Veterinary Medical Association issued a policy on Early-Age (Prepubertal) Spay/Neuter of Dogs and Cats in 1994.. It was revised by the AVMA Executive Board April 1999 and April 2004 and now reads as follows: The AVMA supports the concept of early (prepubertal, 8 to 16 weeks of age) spay/neuter in dogs and cats in an effort to reduce the number of unwanted animals of these species. Just as for other veterinary medical and surgical procedures, veterinarians should use their best medical judgment in deciding at what age spay/neuter should be performed on individual animals. If you are approved but are unable to pick up your new pet for more than a couple of days, you will have to pay a nonrefundable deposit of half the adoption fee. When you pick up the pet, that will be applied to the adoption fee. IF you do not show up at the specified date, the deposit will be kept and the pet adopted to the next approved applicant. When paying an adoption fee, hold deposit, or spay/neuter deposit, please have cash, money order or use PayPal. You do not need an account with PayPal to pay that way, we can send a request for money. If you would like to set it up yourself..Send to: [email protected]
