Additional adoption info

Adoption fees include everything your pup needs to get a perfect start in their forever home. This includes but is not limited to: food, bowls, beds, kennels, collars, leashes, spay/neuter surgery, chip, parvo/distemper, rabies, etc. Any funds that exceed these costs are used for pups with greater medical needs and administration costs such as websites, advertising and training. We depend heavily on our fosters and volunteers who graciously donate their time and homes to our pups.

If you’re interested in meeting one of our available pups, your first step is to submit an application on our website - azdawgz.org.
