This interaction provides a healthier environment for the dog, ultimately enabling a smoother transition into an adoptive home where children and other dogs are likely. We do not accept credit cards. Cash or money orders are preferred for out of state adoptions. While we always try to find the best suitable home for each dog, sometimes things just don't work out. If for ANY reason and at ANY time you are no longer able or willing to keep a SFAR animal, our Adoption Agreement requires that SFAR be notified immediately and be given the opportunity of accepting the animal back into our custody.
Actual costs incurred for each animal is far greater than the requested adoption fee.
For those of you who can give more, we certainly appreciate it. Volunteering and Donations S.F.A.R. depends solely on public donations and volunteer support to remain in operation. We have no paid employees and no overhead expenses of rent, utilities, etc. as we operate solely from the homes of our officers and volunteers. We will happily provide a financial report upon request. We could also use some good ideas for successful fundraisers as well as reliable individuals to organize fundraisers.
