Adoption Questions

What are your adoption fees?

Adoption fees vary by age, and adoptable dogs and cats will have their adoption fees posted on their profiles. In addition to the adoption fee posted, state and local sales tax will be collected as required.

What is included in the adoption fee?

Our animals are up-to-date on the following preventative care before adoptions are finalized (as age appropriate):

  • Dogs:

    • Intake exam

    • Parasite control/prevention

    • DHPP vaccine (Distemper/Hepatitis/Parainfluenza/Parvovirus)

    • Rabies vaccination (if >16 weeks of age)

    • Bordetella vaccine

    • Sterilization surgery (also known as spay/neuter)

    • Microchip (automatically registered to new adopters)

  • Cats:

    • Intake exam

    • Parasite control/prevention

    • FVRCP vaccine (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis/Calicivirus/Panleukopenia

    • Rabies vaccination (if >16 weeks of age)

    • Sterilization surgery (also known as spay/neuter) 

    • Microchip (automatically registered to new adopters)

In addition to our standard schedule of care, sometimes, our animals require additional medical attention. This could include dental work, urinalysis, fecal exams, heartworm treatment, skin scrapes, and occasionally emergency medical treatment. All veterinary services received by your new pet will be shared with you before the adoption is finalized, and you will receive copies of your pet’s veterinary records after adoption.

Do you provide ongoing support?

Yes. We provide ongoing support to all of our adopters to ensure they are set up for success from the moment they bring home their new furry family member.
