Adoption Information

Adopting animals from a shelter is compassionate choice that saves lives.  Shelters are filled with loving pets in need of a forever home, and by adopting, you provide them with a second chance.  Additionally, shelter pets are vaccinated and spayed or neutered, making the pet's transition to your home much easier. 

The animals in our shelter have the following vetting completed before the finalization of the adoption.

  • DHPP Vaccination(s)

  • Rabies Vaccination (age appropriate)

  • PetLink Microchip

  • Spay/Neuter

  • Dewormed an Worm Prevention

  • Flea/Tick treatment and prevention

  • Heartworm/FeLV testing (as appropriate)

Benefits of Adopting 

Saving a Life and Reducing Overpopulation:

  • Second Chance:

    Shelters are full of animals who have been abandoned, lost, or surrendered, needing a second chance at a loving home. 

  • Breaking the Cycle:

    Adopting helps break the cycle of pet overpopulation by giving animals a home and preventing the need for euthanasia due to overcrowding. 

Supporting Animal Welfare:

  • Opposing Puppy Mills:

    Adopting from a shelter means you're not supporting unethical breeding practices in puppy mills or backyard breeders.

  • Reducing Cruelty:

    By choosing adoption, you're helping to reduce demand for animals from places that prioritize profit over animal welfare.

Practical Benefits:

  • Lower Costs:

    Adoption fees are typically much lower than the cost of purchasing a pet from a breeder or pet store.

  • Pre-Trained and Healthy:

    Many shelter pets are already house-trained and have received basic vaccinations, spaying/neutering, and other health care before adoption.

  • Variety of Choices:

    Shelters offer a wide variety of dogs, cats, and other animals, allowing you to find the perfect match for your family and lifestyle. 

Additional Benefits:

  • Support for a Good Cause:

    Your adoption fee helps support the shelter's mission of providing care for homeless animals and promoting responsible pet ownership.

  • Community Involvement:

    Adopting from a local shelter helps support your community's animal welfare efforts.
