On top of the adoption fees, there are additional expenses that come with adding a new furry friend to the family, such as buying food, supplies, and more – plus, if you need to erect a fence to keep your new pup safe, these fees can really add up. Here are some ways that you can help fund your loving gesture of bringing a dog into your home:

1. Crowdfunding – If you’re looking for a creative way to finance your pet adoption, crowdfunding is a great option. Set up a page on a popular site like GoFundMe or Kickstarter, and appeal to friends, family, and even total strangers to help provide the funds necessary to adopt a new pup.

2. Apply for a grant – There are different grants available that can help defray the costs of veterinary fees, adoption fees, and even fees related to erecting a fence. The American Kennel Association offers grants to those who are looking to add a new fur-baby to their home.

3. Apply for a loan – Sometimes, a loan may be necessary to finance an adoption and all the associated costs that come with it. The best way to go about this is to explore different types of loan options, such as a personal loan or a loan from a credit union.

4. Establish a budget – Establishing a budget and planning for the costs associated with adopting a pet is key. Research ways you can save money and decide what’s necessary and what can be put off until later. From building the fence to buying food and supplies, budgeting will help make sure you’re not taking on more than you can handle financially.
