How Your Adoption Fee Helps
Our adoption fee is a non-refundable $250, which defrays – but does not fully cover – the cost of future spays, neuters, vaccinations, food and shelter. Your adoption fee supports the next dog who comes from the streets, often malnourished and un-altered, giving them a second chance at the good life just like that special dog you adopt. Thank you for helping two!
We ask for an additional $50 spay/neuter deposit for unaltered dogs and ask for your commitment to the following:
- If an intact dog is over 6 months old at the time of adoption, you must spay or neuter the dog within 14 days of adoption and provide DHA with proof of altering within 5 days, at which point, your $50 spay/neuter deposit will be returned.
- If an intact dog is under 6 months old at the time of adoption, you must have the dog altered within 14 days of the dog reaching 6 months of age and provide DHA with proof of altering within 5 days, at which point, your $50 spay/neuter deposit will be returned.

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.
