Additional adoption info

Adoption Process:
The adoption procedure is a two step process. First you fill out an adoption application for the pet you are interested in. If you don’t have a specific pet in mind, just make note of that on the application and we will be happy to help you match your family and lifestyle to the pets we have available.

Once you have completed the adoption application we will begin confirming the information you have provided us. Once that is all confirmed we will contact you. At this point you may or may not need to complete a home check. Once approved you will fill out the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. This contract will state exactly what your responsibilities are for your new pet, what the pet is that you have chosen, and line out the requirements of the adoption.

Before filling out the adoption application, please make sure you read through the application and the contract both to ensure that you are able to provide the pet with the requirements it needs. Some pets may require expensive routine grooming. Most pets require an inside only home with a physically fenced (not underground) yard. Be sure that you are aware of the needs of the pet you are interested before you proceed with the adoption application.

We have adoption programs available for various situations. We offer low cost adoptions to low income families as well as the elderly and those on fixed incomes. Adoption fees can range from $50 to $120 and can be adjusted for low income families to as little as $30.

Special Programs:
Already have a pet and you need to get it spayed or neutered but just don’t have the money? Contact us; we can put you in touch with low cost spay and neuter programs and may be able to subsidize the balance of the fees for those with limited income.
