My name is Mahale!

Our adoption process is simple. If you are interested in one of our wonderful animals, come meet them and fill out our adoption application. If you application is approved, you pay a $40 adoption fee for dogs or a $25 adoption fee for cats. If the animal you are interested in has not yet been spayed or neutered, we will make an appointment to get the pet altered before you take him or her home. If the animal is too young or you have come a long way to pick him or her up, you can pay a Spay/Neuter deposit, which you get refunded after getting the animal altered before the deadline we give you.

If you have any questions about the adoption process, application, or spay/neuter contract, please give us a call at 760-932-5582 or email epelichowski@mono.ca.gov
