Adult dogs: $275 (includes same as above plus heartworm test if 8 mo or older)
The adoption fee for kittens (under 1 year) is $175 and covers virtually everything they will need preventively for the first year+ including 2-4 FVRCPs depending on age & situation, rabies vaccine, FIV/FeLV test, microchip with lifetime registration, and spay or neuter. The first thing you'll need to do is at about a year and 4 months, update vaccines. Adult cats get the same thing except 1-2 FVRCPs depending on the situation and are $100 - unless they are seniors (over 10 years old) in which case we also do a senior blood panel and the fee is $75. We discount a second adoption fee by 50% regardless of age. It can also be used for mom and baby (mom is half off) or dog and cat (cat is half off), etc.

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.
