What is the difference between a Program Fee and an Adoption Fee?

The Program Fee and Adoption Fee are two different parts of the Home2Home process.

Program Fee — this is an optional contribution that can be made before your pet is listed for adoption and helps support the Home2Home program. We operate on a ‘Pay What You Can’ basis, so you can contribute whatever feels appropriate and affordable for you.

Adoption Fee — this is paid by the pet’s adopter when they complete the adoption process. It is refundable in accordance with Home2Home’s 14-day adoption trial period.

The Adoption Fee is paid directly to PetRescue via a secure payment link provided to the adopter by the pet’s previous guardian. Home2Home adoption fees help support PetRescue’s adoption platform and programs, including initiatives such as Safe and Sound Pets and the Home2Home program.

Before inviting you to make a Program Fee contribution, our team will review your application and make sure Home2Home is a good match for your pet. Once contributed, the Program Fee is non-refundable.
