Why do I have to pay for a dog?
Why do I have to pay for a dog?
Our dogs are not 'free' but they are also not 'for sale' there is an adoption process and an adoption fee is required on the day of adoption. Our adoption fee is £250 for dogs ages 8 years and under, dogs over this age are by donation only. Puppies are £350 as are bonded pairs.
The adoption fee goes
towards our vet fee's, kenneling bills, feeding costs, behavioral
help etc. Many people think that the donation is to 'buy' a dog and this
is NOT the case, we are a voluntary organisation who rely solely on
these donations to keep the rescue going otherwise we could not continue
to rescue boxers in need. Each dog will need its own medical care, some
dogs run us into hundreds of pounds worth of vet bills, for example one
dog who came in with urinary problems cost us over £400 to diagnose and
treat her, another cost near £3000 to get him fit and healthy and ready
for a new home. Some other dogs come in and are straight forward to
rehome, with basic vet care needed meaning most of their adoption fee
can go on to help other dogs in our care, or pay off outstanding bills. Where
possible we also make sure each dog is wormed, flea treated,
vaccinated, neutered and microchipped before rehoming. So the adoption
fee alone does not cover this, so we also have to find other ways of
fundraising which include dog shows, car boot sales etc. We
hope that you understand that your donation doesn't "pay" for your dog,
it helps all dogs that are unfortunate not to have a loving, secure
home. Our adoption fee is none refundable if a dog is returned after 7 days.

Neutering is also beneficial to aid dominance related behavioral problems. Mounting and marking is greatly reduced after neutering, especially in male dogs. There are MANY reasons mentioned here why neutering is the best thing for your pet.
