PLACEMENT FEES for DOGS and CATS

You May Be Amazed To Know That Animal Rescue Groups Are Not All The Same!

Pro-Humane Animal Rescue Groups Operate Under The Same Guidelines as Pro-Humane Animal Shelters; Which Means that They Do Kill Animals. Pro-Life / Pro-Quality Life Animal Rescue Groups Often Have To Charge More to Pay For Expensive Surgeries and Provide Continual Care For Animals Within The System. We hope that you choose to support our Networks “Pro-Quality Life” Rescue Efforts!

FYI: Most municipal shelters (including Newport Beach ) will not take pets relinquished by the residents which forces local animals to be turned over to the county shelter for a relinquishing fee, where over 50% and over of the dogs and cats can loose their lives.

Adopted shelter animals most often need treatments for curable conditions after placement. The most common treatment for cats is upper respiratory (URI) and even worse many of the shelters  URI’s are herpes based which means that it requires a veterinarian knowledgeable in shelter medicine to diagnose and treat the herpes base URI with a common pediatric drug called Zithromax with results. This knowledge will save your adopted shelter animal unnecessary suffering and any other animals in your home as it is highly contagious.

Be prepared, Shelter Dogs as well commonly exit the shelter into their newly adopted home with kennel cough causing your pet's shelter price to skyrocket due to expensive treatments.

 Read and compare below why we think you will agree that adopting a "Network" Animal is best when you consider all you receive.

Founder's Note About Placement Fees

Your adoption placement fees help support veterinary medical for animals that need more than what is customary. Few people donate to local animal rescue organizations leaving most without the ability to help animals in Orange County. When donating keep your dollars here in Orange County.

Television showing animals being rescued promote increased calls wanting humane services which cost money that local groups don't have. People unknowingly are giving to the United States SPCA and the U.S. Humane Society and that money is not used here. Beware of mailers telling sad animal stories taking  donations that we need desperately for our local spay/neuter funds and animals in crisis. Before you give, find out what organizations are actively doing rescue and donate to local groups. This will help keep local animals provided for.

Your adoption dollars support rescue. Be proud that we are able to help local animals with your help.

The costs for adoption are as follows and include the microchip and chip registration.

        Why Are Our Animals So Expensive

 We spend our money on vet medical care, not labor or a facility. Our animals are with people who love and they have been provided with the best possible health care. Sometimes surgeries have been performed to save their life, or make them more adoptable. 

Why do animals shelters kill the animals? There is simply not enough money or man-power allocated to change the current system. Rescuing animals costs  money...we know!  

Pregnant animals lose their lives first at most over-crowded municipal shelters, then, unaltered (not spayed and not neutered ) are euthanized next. 

We do our best to rescue the pregnant momma cats from death row, raise the babies in loving homes, spay the momma and get her a good new home, too! 

The most important thing about our organization is you can talk to the people who raised them or rescued your new pet and feel comfortable knowing their personalities before adopting. 

When you adopt from a shelter most new owners must take their new animal to the vet to do the things we have already done for you. Did you know some people did not know that kittens and puppies have worms? And that fleas can cause a cat to get worms?
