Additional adoption info
Our adoption process is simple. If you are interested in one of our wonderful animals, come meet them and fill out our adoption application. If you application is approved, you pay a $40 adoption fee for dogs or a $25 adoption fee for cats. If the animal you are interested in has not yet been spayed or neutered, we will make an appointment to get the pet altered before you take him or her home. If the animal is too young or you have come a long way to pick him or her up, you can pay a Spay/Neuter deposit, which you get refunded after getting the animal altered before the deadline we give you.
If you have any questions about the adoption process, application, or spay/neuter contract, please give us a call at 760-932-5582 or email epelichowski@mono.ca.gov

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.
