More Good Dogs Into More Good Homes
By increasing dog adoption rates, we can create more space in "no-kill" shelters, enhance foster availability, and save more dogs than ever before.
Here's how we're doing it:
Adoption Fee Assistance
(For families AND no-kill rescues)
Make Your Dog Adoption Dreams Come True
The average cost of adopting a dog is around $300, but in some regions of the U.S., it can exceed $500. For certain breeds, the adoption fees may even reach $1,000! This can influence the decision to adopt a dog.
The WoofPACK Foundation aims to alleviate this financial burden by helping to cover your dog adoption expenses. This support allows you to focus on what truly matters—providing your dog with food, shelter, toys, treats, and the love it deserves!
Foster Family Assistance
Foster families hold a special place in our hearts
Foster families are vital in reducing kennel overcrowding, ensuring that no-kill rescues can free up space and save even more dogs from being euthanized.
Now that you have chosen to become a foster family, we want to acknowledge the time, energy, and love you will give while your foster dog awaits his forever home.
WoofPACK Foundation supports foster families by helping to offset some of the costs not always covered when fostering a dog.
Starter Kits for New Adoptive Families (Coming Soon!)
Selecting your new lifelong companion is just the first step
Cages, food, treats, toys, and medications—adopting a new dog is not a one-time event.
​
Now that you have chosen to become an adoptive family, we believe you should be recognized for the time, energy, and love you will provide for many years to come.
​
WoofPACK Foundation can help support first-time adoptive families by helping to offset some of the costs associated with pet ownership.
Our entire operation is funded by charitable donations from individuals and businesses to help adoptive and foster families provide loving homes for dogs.
