Nicholas County Animal Shelter's adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption fees are $20.00 for canines and $20.00 for felines. This includes their initial vaccination and worming and a discount on their spay or neuter at the local veterinarian. There is a written contract which the adopting owner must sign which requires that any animal which has not already been altered shall be spayed or neutered by a deadline set by the shelter. Our local veterinarian discounts the cost of surgery and mandatory rabies vaccination. Failure to do so will result in the animal being returned to the shelter.

We are very Rescue Friendly. We need all the help we can get, but there is some guidelines that are a must: 1) We are now asking for copies of your 501c3 non-profit license for our records and a copy of your adoption policies. 2) If any shots are given to the animals, we are asking for that money and we will do what you require prior to transport. 3) We will not hold an animal for a Rescue. If you want the animal and it gets adopted locally before transport can be arranged, we will adopt the animal out. We apologize but, this opens up more room for us. 4) We appreciate any and all help and would love to save all the animal's life through other no kill shelters. So feel free to ask and we will assist you.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
