our adoption fees are

$300 for puppies up to 6 months old

$250 for 6 months old to 8 years old

$150 for dogs older than 8 years old

Our expenses preparing our dogs for adoption are much greater than our fees cover. Donations

above the adoption fees will help us continue our efforts to rescue dogs.

Spay/neuter

Shots including rabies

Dentals will be given to dogs that have health issues with their teeth.

We offer a full refund (minus a $50 processing fee) up to 14 days after the adoption if the adoption

doesn’t work out. Once again, for the sake of the dog, we ask that adopters give the dog a

reasonable amount of time and patience before deciding to return the dog. If the dog does need to

be returned, it is the policy of NMDR that all dogs are returned to us and never surrendered to any

other person or organization for any reason.

We have found homes for dogs outside the Colorado Springs area. Wherever you reside, if you would

like to make a deserving dog part of your life, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We do not,

however, ship dogs. Interested adopters must come and meet the dogs. It would be best to plan a

trip after being approved for adoption. We would communicate thoroughly with a prospective

adopter and get references

prior to your trip.

NMDR does not typically adopt dogs into homes with children under 4 years of age. However,

depending on the child and the dog your family is interested in, exceptions are occasionally made.

Please understand that our proceeding with the application process does not mean that we will deem

any specific dog a good fit for your family, but we will do our best to work with you in finding the

most appropriate companion for your home.

Thank you for your interest in caring for a rescued dog.
