Adoption Process

Start by asking yourself what kind of pet best suits your personality and living situation. Do you have the time and money to dedicate to a dog or cat? Do you rent, and does your landlord allows pets? Do you want an active pet or a couch potato? Once you answer these questions, take a look at the pets available at our shelter online or in person. Either way, we recommend you meet with the dog or cat before making any decisions. Finally, fill out a pet adoption application. If you rent, our staff will verify with your landlord that you can have a pet. We will also check that any other pets you have are spayed or neutered and up-to-date on their rabies vaccinations. You must be at least 18 years old to adopt a cat or 21 years old to adopt a dog. Our standard adoption fees are $45 for cats and $65 for dogs. This includes: Flea and tick treatment; Heart worm testing; Initial vaccines and boosters, including rabies; Spay or neuter; Microchip implant
