Our Adoption Process

All pets adopted from the Shelter are required to be spayed or neutered at time of adoption. The adopter is responsible for EITHER the cost of spay/neuter surgery OR the adoption fee ($86 dog/$50 cat). Permanent Identification of microchip or tattoo is required prior to release from the shelter. The microchip cost is $20, there is no charge for the tattoo. There is a $15 rabies vaccination charge for all pets where vaccines cannot be verified as current.

PLEASE CONTACT THE SHELTER WITH ANY QUESTIONS.

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.
