Adoption Process

Adopters provide their current contact information, a copy of their driver’s license (or other, valid photo ID), and must sign an adoption contract. If the animal is not yet sterilized and is eligible to be sterilized an appointment is made for a contracted veterinarian of the of the adopter’s choosing. When the adoption fee is paid the animal is then transported to the vet by staff for sterilization and rabies vaccination, and the adopter picks the animal up from the vet upon release by the veterinarian. If the animal is not eligible to be sterilized (due to age/weight, for example), the adoption fee is waived, and the adopter must contact BARC to set up a BARC spay/neuter voucher during the adoption process. The voucher and voucher payment are taken by shelter staff (later to be delivered to BARC), and the adopter takes the animal home the same day. The adopter is also given a letter regarding the rabies vaccine requirement if necessary. BARC keeps track of all vouchers and ensures the animal(s) are sterilized as is required under Alabama law. A copy of the BARC voucher can be provided to you upon request. It is a misdemeanor to fail or refuse to comply with Alabama’s sterilization law. Any person failing or refusing to comply will be subject to a fine of a minimum of fifty dollars ($50.00) not to exceed two hundred dollars ($200.00).
