Additional adoption info

Come on down to the shelter, pick out your new best friend, and fill out an adoption application. The adoption fee covers the spay or neuter, current vaccines including rabies, a city license (if applicable), an AVID microchip with lifetime registration, some toys, a new pet DVD, and a small bag of Science Diet.

The shelter schedules the spay/neuter and on the day of surgery does the vaccines and microchip. Then your new best friend is transported to the vet in the Animal Control Van. The vet does the surgery and rabies vaccine. In the afternoon, YOU pick up your pet at the vet. The shelter only uses one vet.

The usual adoption fees (unless we have a "special") are:

$88 for male dogs and $99 for female dogs.
$49.50 for male cats and $59 for female cats.
If the pet was already microchipped when it arrived at the shelter, there is a small transfer fee so the microchip company knows that you are the new owner.
