Post Falls Police Department’s animal shelter's adoption process

Additional adoption info

We encourage anyone who is interested in adoption to schedule an appointment to see the dogs at the shelter. All potential adopters are subject to a background check by the PFPD. The adoption fee is $40.00, which includes the DAPPV vaccine and spay or neuter procedure as needed. If the dog is unaltered, we hold the dog until they have been spayed or neutered before releasing to take home. New owners are required to obtain and show proof of a rabies vaccine and city or county dog license within 30 days of the adoption.

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.
