Clay County Animal Shelter

Additional adoption info

All animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on all shots prior to adoption. Adoption fees range from $50 to $650, based on the age and health of each individual animal.

Please apply as the first step. We can not discuss details for any particular animal if you have not yet applied to adopt.

All steps in our adoption process are aimed at making a good match between pet and adopter. You will be asked to complete an application form. Once your application review is complete, a Clay County Animal Shelter volunteer will contact you to schedule a home visit to look for potential hazards for the animal that the adopter may not have considered. All household members must be present during the home visit. This includes all pets. Once approved to adopt, Volunteers will suggest pets currently in our foster care program who may be a good fit for you and your family. We can also discuss specific animals in our care that you are interested in meeting and adopting.
