DUFFIE’S DAMES Adoption Process & Fees Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our rescued animals! As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we work tirelessly to save the lives of cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens, and find them loving, forever homes. Here is a simple breakdown of our adoption process and fees: 1. Application Fee To begin the adoption process, we ask for a $25 non-refundable application fee. This fee helps cover administrative costs, including: • Reviewing applications • Conducting background checks • Communicating with potential adopters (calls, texts, and emails) • Keeping track of paperwork and maintaining records While this fee is non-refundable, it serves as a donation that supports our mission to rescue and care for animals in need. It ensures that we can continue dedicating our resources to each application with care. 2. Adoption Questionnaire After submitting the application fee, you will need to complete our Adoption Questionnaire. This helps us get to know you better, understand your home environment, and determine the best match for your family and lifestyle. 3. In-Home Meet-and-Greet Once your application is approved, and we have a potential match for you, we will schedule an in-home meet-and-greet. This allows you to meet the animal in your home environment to ensure compatibility and provide the best chance for a successful adoption. 4. Final Adoption Contract If the meet-and-greet goes well, and you decide to move forward with the adoption, a final adoption contract will be filled out, solidifying the adoption of your new pet into your home. 5. Adoption Fees Once the adoption contract is signed, the adoption fees are as follows: • Kittens: $100 - $150 • Adult Cats: $50 - $100 • Puppies: $200 - $350 • Adult Dogs: $100 - $250 These fees help cover the cost of veterinary care, vaccinations, spaying/neutering, microchipping, and any necessary treatments. 6. Payment Methods Adoption fees can be paid by: • Check • Zelle • Cash Please ensure that all payments are completed at the time of signing the adoption contract. 7. Special Programs We offer Angel Donor Programs, where generous donors have contributed to cover part or all of the adoption fees for specific animals. Please inquire about these opportunities when applying. 8. Additional Contributions Any amount that you are willing to donate above the adoption fee is greatly appreciated. Your donations help us continue our work by providing for the next animal in need of rescue, medical care, and a loving home.
