Additional adoption info

Any dog coming in to the shelter must be held for 5 full business days to give the owner a chance to claim him/her. During that 5 day period, anyone that wants to adopt a dog can submit an adoption application for that dog. After the 5 day waiting period is up, applicants are called based on the appropriateness of the home for each and every dogs needs. There is a $10 adoption fee, no cash can be accepted only personal checks or money orders. All pets being adopted must have a pre-paid spay or neuter from the Veterinarian that the shelter uses for low cost spay/neuter for adopted animals. Any Pit Bull or Pit Bull mix being adopted is dropped off at the Vet the morning of their surgery and picked up by the adopter after the surgery has been done. All Pit Bulls and/or Pit Bull mixes residing in Providence must also carry liability insurance. If you own your home you must provide proof of home ownership. If you rent you must provide a notarized letter from a landlord stating you can have a pet.
