Antioch Animal Services's adoption process
Additional adoption info
Once you have identified an animal you are interested in, we will have you spend time getting acquainted with your new friend. Since this will be a family pet, we do require that you bring in your children as well as your other dogs from home, so that we can ensure your new pet gets along with everyone in your family.
Also, be advised that if you rent, we will need to personally contact your landlord to verify that it is OK for you to bring home a pet.
For all dogs and cats, we require that they be spayed or neutered by an Antioch vet before they go home. Adoption fees vary according to the animal you select. Please feel free to speak to a staff member for more information regarding our adoption fees.

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.
