Adoption fees vary depending on breed, age, and medical needs of the dog. Most adoptions are between $200 - $500.

Adoption fees includes spay/neuter, all of puppy series vaccinations, a microchip, 6 weeks of free training classes, a month of free pet insurance, and a coupon book from Petsmart with over $400 in savings!

No. All dogs adopted from Freedom Tails Rescue MUST be spayed/neutered and until they are, remain as a foster to adopt status with our rescue. 

No, by adopting from Freedom Tails Rescue you agree that if you cannot care for the dog, it must be returned to our rescue (adoption fees are non-refundable).

Many of the dogs in our care have been saved from shelters or the streets. Due to the lack of information about the dogs' histories, we are unable to guarantee breed. But we are happy to share our best guess!

Puppy series vaccines are included in the adoption price but must be done by a Freedom Tails Rescue Veterinary Technician. If you opt to have your vet administer vaccines, you are responsible for the cost and must make us aware and provide proof so we can update their shot records. We do not recommend that you pay your vet for them and that you visit us at scheduled vaccine times.

No. We partner with certain facilities for spay/neuter and all dogs must be taken to one that we have a payment agreement with. If you take them to your vet for this, you void the free spay/neuter that was offered at adoption.

No. We name our puppies when they arrive in foster just to keep them straight on paperwork. Once the puppy is yours, you are free to give it the most adorable name you can imagine. They will learn it.

No. If you KNOWINGLY return a dog to us that has bit or injured someone and fail to tell us, causing one of our volunteers or another dog to be injured, legal action can be taken. Please make us FULLY aware of the reasons you are returning the dog.
