Bedford County Animal Control's adoption process
Additional adoption info
We do not usually do same day adoptions unless the pet you have adopted has already been previously altered. If the pet has not been altered it generally takes 2 to 4 business days after the completion of our adoption application for the animal you have adopted to be scheduled for spay/neuter. On the day of the scheduled surgery BCAC takes your new family member in for surgery and you pick him/her up that afternoon from the designated clinic/hospital.
Our adoption fees are $65.00 for dogs and $45.00 for cats, which is pretty much the equivalent to the cost of our veterinary expenses.

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.
