Our average cost of adoption is $375-$1000 this donation includes current shots based on age, deworming, microchipping, heartworm test, spay/neutering if the dog is 9 months of age or older (with exceptions). Please keep in mind that most of our pups are spayed/neutered at 9 months and most adults are spayed/neutered as soon as appointments allow.

Please understand the dog you are adopting from us has been microchipped we must remain as point of contact on that microchip and this will be reflected on the registration.

Very important: You understand and agree that if you are choosing to adopt a puppy under 6 months that you will be responsible to spay or neuter by 9 months of age, or when your vet recommends. Failure to spay or neuter will void your adoption contract.

• As part of our legal binding adoption agreement, you must return your adopted pet to Tess’ K9 Rescue, if, at any time, you no longer want or are able to care for it - adoption fees are non-refundable

I understand once my application is approved for a specific dog that dog will be on the next transport. A dog can not be held for additional time to accomodate an upcoming vacation,business trip or family event unless all transport fees are paid in full and approved by owners and board members of the rescue. 

We want to thank you for taking the time to fill out this application. You have taken the first step in adopting a lifelong companion. These wonderful, loving puppies and dogs need a home and a family, the confidence that comes with having someone love them, someone to call their own, a sense of belonging somewhere and the security of knowing they will never have to be homeless and hungry again.

Thank you for considering adopting a rescued dog. When you adopt a rescued dog you help save two lives, the one you adopted and the next one you just made room for in the Shelter.

Please notify your vet and your 3 references that we will be calling and they have permission to speak with us. 

We will be in touch with you soon.
