If you need additional time to think about your adoption prior to taking an animal home, we offer an adoption hold program. You may place an animal on hold only in-person and during regular operating business hours for a $20 fee. Holds expire after 24 hours, are non-refundable and are not applied towards the adoption fee.
The adoption fees help offset the cost of housing, feeding, training and medical care for the thousands of animals we see at our Shelter each year.
Each dog and cat adoption fee includes spay or neuter surgery, initial vaccinations, microchip ID, 30 days of pet insurance through MetLife Pet Insurance, and a voucher for a free veterinary office visit. These items hold no cash value if not applicable.
Though we hope an animal is the right fit when they go to a new home, we know that is not always the case. If an animal is relinquished within 30 days of their adoptions, 100% of the adoption fee will be refunded.
