Many rescues now charge an application fee I don't love this practice, but its common place here also-usually it's about $10- consider it a donation. But I've always wondered I had to interview and fill out applications with about 10 rescues before I found my Scoobers, and huh that's $100 at least in fees just to find out basic questions about dogs...just because its common doesn't make it a good idea, but the fill out an app. first well its a given in my experiences |
Non-refundable application or processing fees are common whether you are buying a car, renting an apartment or applying to adopt a dog. Some rescues will deduct the application fee from the adoption fee if you are approved.
