Please note. We are NOT a same day adoption shelter. If interested in adopting an animal, upon visiting our shelter, you may fill out an adoption application. Our volunteers will check your vet/ personal references and then they will contact you.



The adoption fee for dogs will be $150.00 plus $9.00 sales tax for each dog. Our dogs are spayed/neutered and up to date on all routine vaccinations. We will also provide as much information and support as needed to ensure that the adoption goes smoothly.



All of our adult cats are spayed or neutered. Our adoption fee for adults under 7 years of age is $80.00 plus 6% tax.The adoption fee for cats who are 7 years or older is now only $25.00 plus 6% tax. For kittens, the adoption fee is $70 plus tax plus and additional $30 sterilization deposit which is returned upon receipt of proof of spaying. It is a state law that all cats and kittens adopted from a shelter must be spayed by age 6 months.



We have many wonderful senior cats who deserve a home of their own! Please consider adopting a new friend who is older.
