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.
