Upson County Animal Shelter's adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption fee is $20. Immediately upon adoption all pets (if old enough) must have a rabies vaccine from one of our local vets. Cost is $12. Any bully breed must be spayed/neutered prior to being transferred to their new family. We have several low cost options available as well as two local vets that preform this surgery. Also any pet being adopted to a resident outside of Upson County must have the pet spayed/neutered prior to leaving the county. Pets too young to be safely spayed/neutered must have their appointment prepaid prior to the pet leaving our shelter.

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.
