Adoption Cost
PCA Rescue requires a fee for adoption of almost all our rescued dogs.
For your convenience PCAR can accept money orders, cashier or bank chacks,
and Paypal. The proceeds generated by this policy are used, along with other donations and our active fundraising to ensure our organization remains able to take in any needy Papillon. In addition to loving foster care, we provide each dog with medical treatment including alteration, shots, heartworm testing, patella evaluation and dental care, etc. We appreciate your support of this policy.
Shipping costs or travel costs to obtain your Papillon will be the responsibility of the adopter. We have limited capability to move dogs around the country, and will work to assist wherever we can. Please keep in mind some dogs are simply not good candidates for shipping.
Donations and payments made to PCA are not tax deductible as charitable contributions for Federal income tax purposes. Adoption Process We check references and a home visit will have to be done.
Please examine the biography on any dog that interests you very carefully.
We spend a great deal of time assessing the needs of these dogs, and our
requirements are generally non-negotiable.
Occasionally, a dog in our care is considered suitable for shipping (at the adopter's expense). However, if your interest is in a specific dog not
geographically close to you, you'll want to consider how you might go about
getting the dog to you.
Please be aware we have many more applications than available
dogs. We are a volunteer organization and although we appreciate your desire to add a papillon to your home, we cannot possibly answer each and every application personally.
Adoption of a rescued papillon is a process. It often takes time.
Our successful placement rate is high. Trust us and work with us it will
be well worth the wait.

Is a Papillon Right for You?
How much do you know about Papillons? Of course they're very pretty. They are small, elegant, happy little dogs and are known for their intelligence. But what does that really mean?
Possible Sources for your Papillon
A Rescue dog deserves to be adopted because that's what you want, not because that's what you'll settle for if you can't get what you want. If you've come to Rescue because you're at a loss for finding other sources for your dreamed-of pup, the information in this FAQ might help.
Papillons with Kids and/or other Pets

happy to address any further questions you have and will help the foster home to
