Which means our longest residents will be the best trained, as long as they're with us we're going to keep socializing and working through any issues they may have. When you adopt from us you will have a very clear picture of the dog you're meeting and on going support! Our Fees are as follows: Senior dogs over 7 are $450 Adult dogs are $650 Puppies under 1 year are $800 Specific breeds are $900 With each adoption you will be... 1. Given up to four hours of free training (from the foster and coordinator), 2. Full medical report of all findings, 3. All of the supplies needed for a new dog as we attain these for the care of each dog, 4. A full run down on their behavioral status, where they started, where they are and how far is left to go. This will be detailed in a training plan from us about what they can or cannot handle well and it will be discussed as much as needed. We fully vet all of our dogs which is reflected in our adoption fee. On average we will pay about 600 dollars in medical per dog. Every dog gets a full blood panel, fecal/urine check, heartworm & tick panel and treatment if required, spayed/neutered, all shots and boosters, along with anything specific to their needs. ____________________________________ FOSTER NEEDED! If you are interested in FOSTERING instead, please complete an application online at https://laststoprescue.com/volunteer/. Fostering means you will temporarily house this dog while we wait for their forever family to come along. Fostering is free as we provide all the basic supplies and support you need. Fosters are asking to transport the dog to vet appointments, adoption shows, or any additional events if your schedule allows. Fosters must be located in Illinois.
