Metro Animal Shelter's adoption process
Additional adoption info
In order to adopt an animal from Metro Animal Services, you must first complete an Adoption Application. If you rent, then you must have your landlord complete the Landlord Approval Form. Both of these forms must be completed and returned to Metro prior to adopting an animal. Once the Adoption Application is completed and turned in, a background check is done. If you pass the background check then you can adopt the animal.
The cost to adopt a dog is $50 and the cost to adopt a cat is $35. Included in the adoption fee is a microchip, first set of shots, free health exam, and if needed a cat carrier. Once the animal has received its rabies shot, bring proof of the rabies vaccination to Metro and you will receive a license.
If the animal being adopted is not spayed/neutered then a $100 cash deposit must be given at the time of the adoption. Once the adopter provides proof that the animal has been spayed/neutered that deposit will be refunded.

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.
