Where are you located?

• Our headquarters are in Marshfield, Wisconsin. 

• What are your adoption fees?

• Our adoption fees range based on the dog’s age. Usually between $200-$400.

• What is included in your adoption fee?

• All dogs above five months old are spayed/neutered, dewormed and age appropriate vaccines.

• Puppies under five months old, are adopted out on a strict spay/neuter contract stating it needs to be done before the dog is nine months old. 

• ALL dogs will be adopted out with a Certified Veterinary Inspection certificate.

• What if we want to do a “trial” before officially adopting?

• We do not allow trial periods. We want the potential adopters to fully consider all outcomes of the adoption and what it entails. Almost all obstacles can be worked through and we want the family to explore those options.

• If the adoptive pet is no longer able to stay with your family, as stated in the contract signed at adoption, you will have to return the pet to us unless agreed upon otherwise.

• Please email us at copperpawsrescue@gmail.com with any questions you have. However, we will always give priority in response to those that have submitted an application already.

• Please only submit an application if ALL members of the family are on board with adopting. Far to many times, I have fully processed an application, only to find out one of the adults in the home was not on the same page to adopt. This is a waste of my valuable time, please have those discussions done prior to filling out the application. Dogs are not adopted out on a “first come first serve” basis, so no need to rush before you’ve been able to discuss as a family.
