La Porte County Small Animal Shelter

We provide animal control services for all unincorporated areas of La Porte County and we also operate the county animal shelter. We enforce municipal ordinances and laws governing animal control and protection and we provide a safe and caring environment for animals in need. We are dedicated to citizen safety, animal rescue and encouraging responsible pet ownership through education.

Adoptions

Dogs/Puppies: $100.00 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, microchip, DHLP/P vaccine (Distemper, Hepatitis (CAV-2), Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus), Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Bordetella vaccine, heartworm blood test, Frontline flea treatment, and bath.

Cats/kittens: $75.00 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, microchip, FVRCP vaccine (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia), Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), FeLV (Feline leukemia virus) test, and Frontline flea treatment.

If interested in adopting an animal, an application must be completed at the shelter and there is a 24-hour waiting period. Adopters must be over 21 years of age.

The adopted animal must be spayed or neutered by a specific date and a legally binding contract to that effect must be signed at the time of the adoption.

Adoptions are open to residents of La Porte County; however, out-of-county adoptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. We do not ship animals to adopters.
