Adoption Fees

ADOPTION FEES ARE NON REFUNDABLE (You won't be charge prior approval.)

Many factors determine which applicant will be matched with a particular pet. Our goal is to place all animals into homes that will best suit their individual needs and personalities. If you don't qualify to adopt a pet today, it does not mean you are not considered a good pet owner or that your home is not acceptable.

We do not process applications that residences are located over 80 miles from our location.

Pets over 40 pounds when fully grown will be preferable placed in houses with a fenced in yard, but no rental apartment, due to the high number of associations rules with pets sizes.

Our team is made of volunteers so please be patient while we process your request - Thank you.)

Adoption Fees:

CAT OVER 1yo $100
KITTEN UNDER 1yo $125
PERSIAN BREED $500
CAT/KITTEN PUREBRED FEE/ADD $150
ADULT DOG $350
PUPPY UNDER 1yo $450
PUPPY 4 MONTHS & UNDER $600
ADULT & PUPPY SMALL BREED $600
NON SHEDDING $600

ALL FEES are used to cover the pet’s medical/wellness procedures, food, and/or immediately used towards the shelter expenses that survives from donations from the public.

All pets will be spayed/neutered, tested, microchipped and dewormed prior to adoption. If too young, the shelter will schedule the remaining procedures with adopters. If procedures missing are only regular shots and not rabies, adopters will be required to send proof of such procedures to our e-mail.
