What does it cost to rescue a dog at Muttville?

Expenses differ depending on the dog, of course, but here are some approximate costs that will help you know where your donation dollars go:

• Blood work (all Muttville dogs have general blood work done so we can assess their health before they are allowed to be adopted): $100
  
• Spay / neuter (all Muttville dogs are spayed / neutered prior to adoption): $50-$250 (special needs)
  
• Grooming (no cost when we do it, but some of our dogs really need a professional) : $0-$60
  
• Teeth cleaning (needed for nearly every dog we rescue): $100 and up
  
• Tooth extraction (many rescued dogs have bad teeth – and sometimes lots of them – that adversely impact their general health): $500-$800
  
• Other surgery, including eye removal, tumor removal and orthopedic: can run as high as $2,400
  
• Daily care until a permanent home can be found: $50/month
