Adopt a Pet

Adoption Fee
$80, which includes spay/neuter, nail trim, rabies vaccination and city registration (if animal will live in city limits).

Fostering
No fee to foster an animal. There is an application to be filled out/approval process. Foster parent must sign rabies/sterilization agreement.

Rescue Groups
No fee, must sign a rabies/sterilization agreement.

There is a 72-hour hold on animals picked up by Animal Control, to give an opportunity for the animal to be claimed by its owner(s). After the 72 hours the animal is available for adoption.

We work with various rescue groups (there are several groups that will take any type of animal, and then specific breed rescue groups) to find homes for the animals. Animals available for adoption are featured on the Petfinder website.

CONTACT US
