The adoption fee covers the spay/neuter surgery, rabies vaccination, basic vaccinations, microchipping, and care. All basic vaccinations will be current at the time of adoption. A potential adopter is required to fill out an adoption application which includes information regarding their home environment, current/prior pets, etc. We also require them to provide at least 2 references. A volunteer will review the application, contact the references, and provide information regarding the specific pet they are interested in adopting. If we receive a favorable response when we contact the references, the potential adopter is then required to complete the actual adoption contract. We encourage communication by email. Due to our limited staff, our office is only open part-time, but we will return all phone calls as soon as possible.

The SPCA of Polk County is a NO-KILL animal shelter operated primarily by volunteers. It receives no federal, state or local government support, United Way funding nor any support from HSUS or ASPCA. It is a 501(C)3 non-profit organization that relies on compassionate friends to continue its life-saving work. Our volunteers donate their time and personal talents because they love the animals that come through our shelter. We offer a low cost spay/neuter program to assist families who want to have their personal pets spayed/neutered if they meet the program guidelines.
