Adoption fee question

I'm trying to adopt a wild mustang but have a question. If I bid on a horse for $150 for example, are adoption fees added so it would be $275 or is the $125 adoption fee the minimum bid we have to make?

YA Novel Promotes Wild Horses

"Mustangs On The Run!" is the second novel in the "Etta, The Brave" series, starring a teen heroine who has the ability to communicate with animals. In this story, Etta visits the desert's magical Noah Gorge, where wild mustangs roam free. She becomes the target of men intent on capturing and harming the wild horses--and on harming Etta herself. Lost in the twisting desert canyons after dark, Etta and her young cousin look for their parents and for two friends who have been captured and held hostage. Etta uses her special gift to speak with the mustangs and other desert creatures as she seeks to evade capture and find help. This is an enchanting, exciting book for anyone seeking to help educate young people on the challenges faced by the beautiful mustangs and burros of the West. https://www.amazon.com/Mustangs-Run-Etta-Brave-Book/dp/B0C5PKYP77/ref=sr_1_1?crid=GSNQPW1LIPU6&keywords=mustangs+on+the+run&qid=1693085077&sprefix=mustangs+on+the+run%2Caps%2C164&sr=8-1
