Provides adoption service for cats and dogs. All pets are spayed or neutered before placement into their forever homes. The adoption fee covers the cost to spay/neuter, vaccinate, worm, and apply flea preventive to the pet during its stay at the Shelter.
Any animal that had extended medical care may have a higher adoption fee and any animal with special needs may have a lower adoption fee.
Our pets are current on their vaccinations as of the day they are adopted. However, we strongly recommend that the new adopter schedule an appointment with their veterinarian to establish a health maintenance plan.
