We do not schedule meet and greets without an approved application.<br/><br/>https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/PDAR/Dog<br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $550<br/><br/>The adoption fee for this dog is $550, which helps with the cost of routine veterinary care. <br/><br/>Most of our dogs are rescued from high-intake shelters or straight off the streets in South Texas, where packs of stray animals run loose. Your adoption fee directly helps cover the significant costs required to bring these dogs to safety.<br/><br/>We are a registered nonprofit rescue, and any excess revenue goes directly toward helping animals with major medical needs who might otherwise be left behind or euthanized.<br/><br/>Your Adoption Fee Includes:<br/><br/>Safe Transport: Transportation from Texas to our local foster homes. This cost alone is approximately $200–$230 per dog.<br/><br/>Vetting & Preventive Care: Age-appropriate core vaccines, deworming, heartworm testing (if old enough), microchip, and spay/neuter surgery if already completed.<br/><br/>VCA Medical Partnership<br/><br/>Every adoption includes a complimentary first exam at any participating VCA Animal Hospital within the first 14 days.<br/><br/>VCA also provides a limited health guarantee of up to $250 for minor illnesses, such as kennel cough or ear infections, diagnosed during that initial two-week window.<br/><br/>Important Rescue Policies<br/><br/>No Foster-to-Adopt Program: We do not offer a foster-to-adopt option. The majority of our dogs are already settled into loving local foster homes, and we aim to minimize unnecessary moves for their emotional well-being. Additionally, our rescue insurance policy strictly prohibits it.<br/><br/>Breed and Size Guarantees: We cannot guarantee the breed mix or adult size of any dog in our care. Listed breeds are our best guesses based on physical traits and personality. Because our dogs are rescues with unknown histories, we cannot guarantee that a dog is not mixed with pit bull. This is a standard reality of adopting a rescue animal.<br/><br/>Stay Connected!<br/><br/>For rescue updates, happy tails, and to see our latest adoptable dogs, follow us on Facebook!<br/><br/>https://www.facebook.com/share/1Fj844YBZZ/?mibextid=wwXIfr
