Our Adoption Area
Southwest Ohio Doberman Rescue will consider applications
throughout the United
States and Canada, if and only if we can arrange to have a home visit done.
However, if you live outside of an approximate 200-mile radius of New
Richmond,
Ohio, you can expect the application process to take a while. It is
your
responsibility to arrange to come to New Richmond to meet the dogs. It
is not
our policy to hold dogs while we process your application, so if you are
interested only in a specific dog, please inquire as to his/her availability
before making travel plans. Should you choose to adopt a dog, you are
responsible for transporting your new family member to his/her new home (via
ground transportation only). If extraordinary circumstances make
travel
difficult, let us know. We may be able to help with alternative
arrangements,
although this is in no way guaranteed.
If you prefer to adopt closer to home, visit the Doberman Pinscher Club of
America's

Adoption Fees
Most of our dogs incur expenses greater than the adoption fee. In
order to help cover our
expenses, SWODR charges and adoption donation for each dog. This
fee is considered
a "donation" and is usually nonrefundable. The fee varies according
to the age of the dog
as follows: Baby dogs 6 months of age and
younger, typically: $400.00
Youngsters 7 months to 2 years: $300.00
Adults 2 years through 6 years: $250.00
Seniors 7 years and up, typically: $200
Note: Often we do not know a dog's exact age. In such instances we use our
best
estimate of the dog's age but cannot guarantee its accuracy. SWODR
reserves the right to change this adoption donation schedule without notice. |
