All dogs from The Bond Between receive vetting, vaccines, and are spayed/neutered before being eligible for adoption, and the adoption fee is required for each dog.

Free adoptions are a great way to bring a new furry friend home, and in some cases, they can be totally free. The Stanislaus Animal Services Agency in Modesto has a special promotion where the first 60 adopters can get a free adoption.

The free adoption includes all fees, such as spay/neuter, licensing, vaccinations, and microchipping. This is a huge deal, especially since dog abandonments are at an all-time high in California, making the shelter over capacity.

Some dogs have been waiting in the shelter for up to 53 days, so every adoption counts. This free adoption special is a game-changer for getting dogs out of the shelter and into homes.

To take advantage of this promotion, you'll need to be one of the first 60 adopters, so be sure to act fast.

The dogs at The Bond Between are rescued from all over the country. As of 2024, 40% of the animals they rescue are from Minnesota.

They rescue dogs from local shelters in Minnesota, providing them with a second chance at a happy life.

The dogs at the shelter are eager to find their forever homes, and some are more urgent than others. Many of these dogs are seniors, and their adoption chances decrease with age.

Senior dogs like Max, a 10-year-old Labrador Retriever, are often overlooked in favor of younger dogs. Max has been at the shelter for over a year, and his adoption would bring joy to his new family.

Dogs with medical needs, like Bella, a 3-year-old Poodle, also require urgent attention. Bella has a heart condition that requires regular check-ups, and her adoption would ensure she receives the care she needs.

Dogs with behavioral issues, like Rocky, a 2-year-old Bulldog, require extra attention and training. Rocky has separation anxiety, and his new family would need to commit to helping him overcome this issue.

Dogs that are part of a bonded pair, like Luna and Leo, a 5-year-old Chihuahua and 7-year-old Pug, should be adopted together. These dogs have formed a strong bond, and separating them would cause them unnecessary stress.
