Why Dog Adoption Fees Are So High: Where Money Goes
Dog adoption fees cover vital vet care, food, and shelter, making them an investment in saving lives, not a profit for rescues.
Elsie is a sweet, timid orange and white tabby who quickly transforms into a loving companion once she trusts you. This gentle girl adores people, enjoys being petted, and will happily follow you around the house, talking to you with her soft meows. Elsie would thrive as the only cat in a home, though she might get along with a friendly, respectful dog. She is fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and ready to find her forever family.
