Adoption Policy: Strict

Puppy Tales Rescue is not a first to apply rescue group. We re-home our dogs based on the best possible family we can find them. Our wheels keep turning thanks to some very dedicated volunteers, there are no paid staff so all our funds go directly to helping our animals in care. Our adoption fee includes:- de-sexing, microchip, vaccination, vet check, flea and worm treatment. A majority of our animals have undergone other medical treatment from major dentals, patella repairs, hernia repairs or received treatment for other medical ailments. Medical needs, ongoing treatment and any surgeries that the animal has received in our care will be listed on its individual profile. Full vet history will be released directly to the adoptive families vet. Our preferred vet clinic is Bacchus Marsh Veterinary Centre.
