Bringing any animal into your home and family is a financial commitment for the lifetime of the animal. The initial adoption fee of $200 is just the beginning, but it is reasonable to ask what services are included in the adoption donation, and what additional expenses will be required.

- Pet Supplies (food, dog bowls, bed, etc.)
- Veterinarian search

- Spaying or neutering
- De-worming if required

- 1 month of heartworm preventative medication

- A guarantee to take the dog back anytime during the life of the dog should it be required
- Microchipping

Note that in some cases, depending on the dog and on the specific home environment where the dog will be placed, GPA-Wisconsin will require that a crate be purchased. Please contact GPA-Wisconsin for the correct crate size before making final arrangements to obtain the crate.
