My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

HOLIDAY SPONSORED LOWER ADOPTION FEE!

**Special Needs Adoption**

Hi! My name is Rico and I'm looking for a loving home to call my own!

I am 8yrs and I've been back at the shelter since November 10th.

I am a very sweet and silly dude who loves nothing more than meeting new people! I am an older guy with some health issues but you know that wont stop me! I enjoy romping around chasing balls, though I don't usually bring them back but maybe one time! I like stretching my legs on short walks and I don't pull much I promise! I am more independent and enjoy my space but I also wont mind a spot on the couch next to you.

My ideal home would be vigilant with keeping up on my medical needs. I have been in multiple home with other animals and have done great. I am getting older and a little less tolerant of other dogs. No issues if I am the big baby in the home, getting all the love and attention I deserve.

If you are interested in adopting me, please visit Animal Allies at 4006 Airport Road or you can call the Adoption Team at 218-722-5341 as early as 10:30 AM and place a nonrefundable $25 hold towards my adoption fee to put you first in-line to adopt! Our adoption team is available via phone Tuesday-Saturday from 10:30am-6:00pm and Sunday 10:30am-4:00pm. Our adoption process is first come first serve.

RICO'S ADOPTION FEE: $75 plus tax. This fee is used for the extensive costs associated with vetting and otherwise caring for Rico and future pets at our shelter. Every adopter from Animal Allies receives a pet that has been spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. Our pets also receive dental work or other treatments when necessary. In addition, Animal Allies provides free lifetime post-adoption counseling to help with any behavioral issues or concerns you may have for your new pet!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Animal Allies has variable adoption fees. A higher adoption fee does not mean that we value a particular animal over another; it is simply a matter of supply and demand. Animals that are in higher demand and are adopted quickly have higher adoption fees, which then create a financial legacy for the animals that stay in our care for a longer period of time.

CAT ADOPTION FEES
Cat and kitten fees range from $25 to $255. Please see the individual pet descriptions for detailed adoption fees and information. Feline adoption fees include: microchip and registration, medical exam, age-appropriate vaccinations, spaying/neutering, fecal exam, and feline leukemia/FIV testing.

DOG ADOPTION FEES
The adoption fees for dogs and puppies range from $75 to $525. Please see the animal descriptions for individual adoption fees. Fees for dogs are based on a number of factors such as age, size, breed, or temperament. Canine adoption fees include: microchip and registration, medical exam, age-appropriate vaccinations, spaying/neutering, fecal exam, flea and tick treatments, and heartworm testing.

Animal Allies accepts cash, money orders, and VISA/MC/Discover. Adoption fees are subject to a Duluth sales tax rate of 8.875%. As a convenience for Duluth residents we are able to assist with your license application at the time of adoption. The City of Duluth pet licenses are available for $12.50 per year. Hermantown licenses are available at the time of adoption for a $12 fee. License fees are in addition to adoption fees.

ADOPTION FEE DISCOUNTS
Pets for the Elderly: Animal Allies receives grant funding from a nationwide program that encourages seniors to adopt companion animals. All adopters age 60 or older receive a $50 discount on any Animal Allies adoption fee.

Buddy Program: When adopting two cats at once, the total adoption fee will be reduced by $25. If adopting two dogs or a dog and a cat, the total adoption fees will be reduced by $50.
