FGDR - Online Adoption Application

FGDR Adoption Application Thank you for taking the time to fill out your/our information/questions. This information will help us match you with the best fit dog for your personal lifestyle. The Adoption Process is something Friendly Giants Dog Rescue takes very seriously. We want to be sure that each dog is matched with his or her perfect family. We have several different adoption fees. For adult dogs that are 50lbs and under, our adoption fee is $350.00, for adult dogs that are 51 - 99lbs, our adoption fee is $400, for adult dogs that are 100lbs+, our adoption fee is $500 given the extra costs associated with food and spay/neuter surgery. For puppies 4 months of age and younger, our adoption fee is $500, this includes their 3 sets of vaccines, deworming and their spay/neuter. This fee goes towards the costs incurred to get the dog safe, healthy, and ready for adoption. Costs such as spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, heartworm testing and other necessary veterinary treatment, pull fees to rescue dogs from high-kill animal shelters, as well as boarding and transportation expenses add up quickly. In many cases, this adoption fee does not cover our costs. However, for some of our special needs and/or older dogs there is a reduced adoption fee.
