Adoption process

The adoption fee is typically $70 for dogs and $55 for cats. The price includes spay or neuter, a Rabies vaccine, and other routine vaccines/tests. All pets must be spayed or neutered before they can be adopted. If an animal has arrived to us already spayed/neutered or has a current Rabies vaccination, the adoption fee will be reduced. To adopt an animal, you must be at least 18 years old, provide identification, and provide a current physical address. All dogs must leave the Shelter on a leash and collar. If you do not bring these items with you, the Shelter will have a limited supply available for purchase. All cats must leave the Shelter in a carrier. If you do not bring this item with you, the Shelter will have cardboard carriers available for purchase.
