Additional adoption info

Adoption fees vary according to the animal. We often provide adoption discounts for senior animals or animals with special circumstances. All animals come with age-appropriate vaccines and are spayed/neutered. Dogs are also microchipped. All adopters must complete an application and provide a vet reference. Phone inquiries may take several days to receive a return call, but emails and FB messages usually receive a same-day reply.
