* Our adoption fees may be reduced depending on the age and health of the dog (e.g., special needs).
While this fee may seem high at first, the value included far exceeds the cost, ensuring your dog is healthy, happy, and set up for success. Here’s what is included with every adoption:
Everything your dog needs, taken care of.
Full veterinary care
Vaccines, microchipping, deworming, 4DX heartworm/tick-borne testing, age-appropriate spay/neuter while in our care, and any other care needed prior to adoption.
$800
Pre-adoption training
Behavioral observations and basic training while the dog is in their foster home, so you start with a record of what they know and need.
Included
Safe transport
Coordinated transport from origin (Caribbean or surrender point) all the way to your meet-and-greet. We handle the logistics.
Included
Starter supplies
Collar, leash, food, and a few toys, so your dog arrives with everything they need on day one.
Included
Post-adoption support
Your adoption coordinator stays a text away for the first few weeks. We follow them home, together.

Adoption isn’t a transaction. It’s the beginning of a relationship — and we don’t disappear after the paperwork.
Your adoption coordinator stays a text away for the first few weeks while everyone settles. We love photo updates, the awkward week-two stories, and the day-365 milestones too.
Every dog who comes through Hope’s Haven becomes part of our extended family. If life ever changes and you can’t keep your dog, they come home to us — no questions, no judgment. That promise is built into every adoption contract.
We measure success in the small things: the first night your dog sleeps through, the moment they stop flinching at the leash, the day they walk into a room like they own the place. That moment is why we do this.
