Visit the shelter today to find a wonderful companion who matches your lifestyle, family, and home. If you have any questions about your application or any of the available animals, please call the shelter.

Dogs, Cats, and Puppies: $110 each
Kittens: $110 each or two for $165
Fridays: $55 adoption fee for all black dogs and cats
$5 registration tag for City of Oak Ridge residents, in addition to the $110 adoption fee

The adoption fee includes our veterinarian performing a physical wellness check, spay/neuter, tattoo, vaccines, rabies shot, dewormer, microchip, flea/tick treatment, heartworm test, and a nail trim. All cats are also tested for FIV and FeLV.

The adoption process is quite simple. You must be at least 18 years of age or older and have a valid driver's license. You may view the adoptable animals online or at the shelter during business hours. Once you have picked an animal that is available for adoption, please fill out an application. It takes 1-2 business days for the shelter to process your application.

After an animal has been adopted, the Oak Ridge Animal Shelter will check in with you to see how your new pet is settling in. Please email the shelter update pictures!
