Why am I asked to give a donation for a rescue dog?
Your adoption donation covers worming and flea treatment, vaccinations, microchipping, spaying and neutering. Any vet treatment, kenneling, food, bed, toys, treats, collar, lead, harness that your adopted dog had whilst waiting to be adopted, were most likely paid for by generous donations from our supporters, or by fund raising by the rescue. The time, phone calls and petrol involved in networking, homechecking and transporting were given freely by rescue volunteers. Your donation, most likely, doesn’t cover the amount spent on the dogs. Adoption Donations allow rescues to clear vets bills and kennel bills and to be able to help the next dog in need. That is why you are asked for an adoption donation.
Our average donation is £300 with amounts varying from £100 to £600 depending on the age of the dog and the amount of ongoing vets treatment it will require.
