Where do adoption fees for rescue pets go?

100% of the adoption fee for a pet listed on PetRescue goes directly to the rescue organisation, shelter, council facility or veterinary clinic caring for that pet. PetRescue does not set individual adoption fees and does not take a portion of them.

Adoption fees help organisations recover some of the costs of caring for pets, including veterinary care, food and other day-to-day needs. Fees vary because each organisation sets its own fees and each pet’s circumstances can be different.
