Adoption FAQs

---

The Adoption fee for Fidos Landing dog rescue typically covers the administrative and operational costs associated with processing applications and finding suitable homes for dogs. This fee helps us cover:

1. Background Checks: Many rescues perform background checks, reference checks, and even home visits to ensure applicants are prepared and able to care for a dog responsibly.

2. Staff Time and Resources: Reviewing applications, interviewing applicants, and coordinating visits require time and resources. This fee helps compensate the team handling these processes.

3. Dog Care and Medical Costs: Although application fees don’t usually cover full adoption costs, they might contribute to vaccinations, health checks, spaying/neutering, microchipping, and other essentials.

4. Rescue Maintenance Costs: This can include upkeep for shelter facilities, food, bedding, and daily care for the animals while they’re awaiting adoption.
