Money-Back Guarantee
We want both you and your new family member to be happy together, so
we offer a money-back guarantee with every dog. Here's how it works.
Every dog adopted from Cattledog Dreams has had a routine vet check
and is believed to be healthy. However, it is impossible to guarantee a
dog's health, so we recommend you take your new companion to your vet
within the first two weeks of adoption to get a second opinion. Some
adopters choose to have their vet complete routine x-rays or blood-work
during this visit to get a complete picture of their dog's health. Please
note, this vet check is conducted at the adopter's expense and is not
reimbursable by Cattledog Dreams.
Should you find any medical condition that you are not willing to address,
or if you simply change your mind about the dog for any reason, you may
return him or her to Cattledog Dreams within two weeks of adoption and
receive a refund of your adoption donation minus a $100 Administrative
Fee (which covers the cost of the home check and private training
session). The Administrative Fee can be credited toward the adoption of
a new dog for up to 12 months.
Adopters who return dogs after two weeks will not receive a refund. Dogs
returned after four months will be subject to the conditions of our
re-homing program.

The Cost of Adoption
Cattledog Dreams is a non-profit organization
that relies on donations, volunteer efforts and
adoption fees to save shelter dogs. We do
not have the staff to host fundraisers to
underwrite our costs, so our fees might be a
little higher than larger rescues.
However, because we are small and focused
on one breed, we are able to get to know our
dogs personally, provide training as needed
to help them easily transition to your home,
meet with you one-on-one to understand
what you are looking for in a dog, and
provide follow-up support to help you
understand and enjoy your new pet.









Our adoption fees are:
Puppies (up to 6 months) $425
Young Dogs (over 6 months to 4 years) $325
Adult Dogs (over 4 years) $275
WHY SO HIGH? Our adoption fees cover only 60% of what it costs to rescue
and re-home a healthy unaltered dog from the shelter. Cattledog Dreams is
an all volunteer organization. We do not have the staff to host fundraisers to
underwrite our costs as larger rescues do, so our adoption fees are higher
than some of the larger rescues. For a cost breakdown click here.
