As a donation-based non-profit, we rely on community support to provide every animal with the care they need. To help cover essential intake costs - including veterinary exams, vaccinations, and fecal testing - we kindly ask for a suggested donation of $150 per animal surrendered. Donations can be made through our Donate page on our website at www.fourrootsranch.com/donate. We understand that not everyone may be able to contribute the full amount, and our top priority will always be the well-being of the animals. If the suggested donation presents a hardship, please contact us at info@fourrootsranch.com.

Once your pet arrives safely, we will promptly send a follow-up email or text to confirm their arrival and adjustment to their new environment. While we focus on ensuring a smooth transition for the animals in our care, we do not provide ongoing updates regarding their status, and as we are not open to the public, we are unable to offer in-person visits. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we prioritize the well-being of every animal entrusted to us. Thank you for your support!
