In 2010, we rehomed a record 93 dogs. On average, we lose $155 per adoption (the medical costs per adoption are higher than our adoption fees.) That means that we needed to raise $14,000 just to make sure the dogs received the basic veterinary care they required. Normally, people are surprised to hear that we lose money even though we have higher adoption fees but the reality is, we agree to take dogs that other rescues could not because of our generous donors. Most dogs that came to us need some sort of medical attention as well as being spayed or neutered, and your donations are truly saving their lives.
