Madison A.R.F. asks for a $150 donation when you adopt from us. This is not the price of the pet, but a donation to help cover our vet expenses. Even at the deeply discounted rates that our vets give us, veterinary care is expensive. Here is a breakdown of what we provide that is included in the $150 adoption fee and what you can expect to pay for the same services at a Madison area vet yourself.

Health and Wellness exam.......$45
Rabies vaccine (1 yr)........$16
DHP-PC (dogs)........$25
FVRCP (cats)......$16
Bordetella.......$13
Heartworm test (dogs)......$36
Fecal/dewormer......$23
spay or neuter........$170-250

You can see how you can easily spend $400 in addition to the price of the dog or cat were you to purchase from a breeder. We include all of these things with the adoption of an animal, plus the animal is also current on heartworm medication and flea treatment.
