What Our Adoption Fees Cover

Every adoption fee helps offset the cost of care your pet receives while at the shelter and helps us continue rescuing and caring for animals in need throughout our community.

  • Spay or neuter surgery

  • Age-appropriate vaccinations

  • Microchipping

  • Routine veterinary care

  • Daily food, shelter, and enrichment

Adoption Requirements

How It Works

To ensure safe, successful placements, all adopters must meet the following requirements:

Age Requirement

Adopters must be 18 years or older

Valid Identification

A valid photo ID is required at the time of adoption

Housing Verification

If you rent
A copy of your lease with pet addendum, or
Your landlord’s contact information so we can confirm pet approval

If you own
Proof of ownership (deed or similar documentation)
If unavailable, we will verify ownership through a tax assessment check during your visit

Adoption Application & Approval

  • A completed adoption application is required

  • Applications are reviewed in the order received

  • Approval is based on compatibility, not speed

Adoption Deposit

  • A deposit is required in person to reserve an animal

  • Deposits place a temporary hold on the animal while adoption is finalized

  • Animals are not reserved based on application alone

First Come, First Served

Adoptions are processed on a first come, first served basis. Your adoption will proceed only after...

  • your adoption application is approved

  • your housing is verified

  • an adoption deposit is placed in person

Submitting an application online does not guarantee or reserve an animal.

Medical Care Before Adoption

Before going home, all adopted animals will be:

  • Spayed or neutered (if not already)

  • Up to date on vaccinations

  • Microchipped

Submitting an application online does not guarantee or reserve an animal.

That’s okay. There are lots of ways to support our cause...

Every action matters.
