We are proud to announce that we will begin accepting applications from and adopting dogs to the residents of most of our New England states!!!!!! The applications will be forwarded to our wonderful volunteers in New England, Debbie Johnson and Brigitte Ritchie, who will then handle the "details" of the NE adoptions. Adoptions which require transport from West Virginia will incur transport fees, in addition to the normal adoption fees. We will do our best to hold these fees to a reasonable amount, but estimate that they could range from $175 - $400 per dog, depending on the particular transport involved. We are excited about this news, and are looking forward to working with Debbie and Brigitte! |
