Why Do Rescues Have Adoption Fees?

In addition to daily care costs, the adoption fees help Pacific Rim Rescue cover travel, vaccination and medical prep costs for our dogs as well as cover our overall mission to rescue as many dogs as possible no matter their medical condition or behavioral issues. Our adoption fee is not the cost to buy a dog, but an overall show of support for this mission.

We are fully insured and licensed as a rescue. And, unlike shelters, we do not receive funds from government agencies to help cover expenses.
