We do not do same-day adoptions. In order for an application to be approved, all animals in the home must be up to date on routine vaccinations, we must receive approval from the landlord or be able to verify home ownership. We also require the consent of all adults in the home. Ideally, all members of a household will meet an animal before adoption, but in cases where that is not possible, verbal consent is acceptable. Once approved, when adopting a dog, we require that any other dogs in the household come to the shelter to do a supervised interaction with the adoptable dog. Adoption fees are as follows: Dogs under 6 months: $150 Dogs 6 months and over: $125 Cats under 6 months: $95 Cats 6 months and over: $80 Rabbits: $25 Ferrets: $55 Parakeets: $15 Rats, Hamsters, Gerbils: $5 Finches & Canaries: $10 Mice: $3 Cockatiels: $50 Guinea Pigs: $12 Chinchillas: $50 Pigs: $100.
