Additional adoption info

Dog adoptions are $85.00, puppies are $100.00, cat adoptions are $65.00 and kittens are $85.00.
The fee pays for the animals to be spayed/neutered at participating vets. We give you back the amount in the form of a voucher and a date to have them fixed by. If we do not receive the voucher back from your vet we will do a follow up and move from there as to how the situation will be handled. You are able to take your loving fur baby home that day. If you have other pets we ask to do a meet and greet on neutral ground.

About Animal Welfare League - Richmond, Indiana

The Animal Welfare League is Richmond city shelter. We accept any animals from the Wayne County area and take all the animals that Animal Control rescues. Strays are held for five business days so their family has time to come an claim them. If they do not we vaccinate, worm, bathe, and them up on social media or homing websites to find them a new fur-ever home. in special cases we send them to more suitable rescues.

We have made an important step in helping our dogs find homes. We will no longer be giving any of our dogs specific breed types. Research done by the National Canine Research Council shows how inaccurate visual identification of a dog's breed is. In a study cited by the National Canine Research Council, 5000+ breeder, trainers, veterinarians, shelter staff, rescuers and others were asked to visually identify various dog breeds. in the end they were right less than 1/3 of the time.

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.
