Adoption

The Animal Services Unit desires to provide the best possible homes for our available animals. Be sure you are ready for the responsibility of a new pet before you take one home. They deserve a family that will care for all their needs for as long as they live, which could be several decades in some cases. The adoption cost is a $60 non-refundable fee. You must also pay the $10 County registration fee which is payable at the time of adoption

Animals may be adopted from the shelter between 11 am and 3:45 pm Monday through Friday and on Saturday 8 am to noon.

All animals have been spayed or neutered prior to being placed in our adoption area. They have also received routine vaccinations and deworming for hooks and rounds. Dogs are not tested for heartworms.

Questions to Ask to Determine if You Are Ready for a New Pet

  • Do I have the extra time needed to properly care for an animal?
  • Can I afford the extra costs of being a pet owner such as vet bills, food, medication, toys, grooming and more?
  • Am I renting? If yes, am I aware of any animal restrictions, such as breed or weight? Will there be additional costs added to my lease?
  • Do I have any other pets? If so, will the animals get along with each other?
  • Will I be able to provide a stable and loving home for a pet for the next 10 to 20 years?
