City of Plano Animal Services's adoption process

Additional adoption info

The most an adoption fee for any dog, cat, puppy, or kitten is $80. Many animals are listed as VIPs and their adoption fees are only $40! On occasion, the shelter may have special adoption fees that are even less.
Exotics have a different adoption fee. It will be stated in there information.

Adoption fees include the following services:
Spay/neuter surgery
First set of vaccinations (including rabies)
Heartworm test for dogs (if over six months of age)
Heartworm treatment if the dog tests positive
Microchip implantation and registration
Collar and tags
Other goodies
These services could easily cost several hundred to more than a thousand dollars at a private veterinary clinic if you were to get a “free” pet from elsewhere. Adopting from the Plano Animal Shelter allows you to save money while you save a life!

By Texas State Law and Plano City Ordinance, all animals adopted from a releasing agency must be sterilized prior to adoption and vaccinated against the rabies virus as soon as the animal is old enough (3 months of age).

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Plano, TX.

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.
