AGENDA

New year; new structure:

  7. The rest of the Board positions will stay the same

RESCUE will be increasing adoption prices: 

The decision is not taken lightly but utilities and vet prices have increased year after year and we keep taking the loss. Increasing prize will alleviate some of the continued losses; especially with cats.

  • Adoption fees for puppies from 0- 3 years will be $500.00
  • Dogs 4 years old to 8 years old will be $450.00
  • Dogs 9 years old and older will be $400 (This prize is being evaluated and can depend on health conditions/breed of dog)
  • All kittens from 0- 1 year old be $250 
  • All adult cats 1 year and older will be $200
