We understand that rescue dogs aren't for everybody, and that they will not always fit into every household.

These questions you have answered are part of our application process. This will start the process for adoption and allow NWGDR to help match you with the appropriate dog for your family. Upon adoption, there will be an adoption agreement that must be signed.
|
|
NWGDR can only operate through donations and adoption fees. Vet expenses, travel, dog food, and other care items can add up with each and every dog we place. In order to offset some of these costs, we charge an adoption fee of $250 per dog plus we also ask to be reimbursed for any veterinary charges that were incurred in the time that the dog was in our care.
