Additional adoption info

The first step in the adoption process is to come to the shelter to meet the pet in person. We will have you fill out a questionnaire to confirm the pet is a good fit for your family. If you are selected, there is an adoption contract and adoption fee we will have you complete. Please bring your Driver's License or other photo ID to complete the adoption process.

As required by Missouri State Law Section 273.403, all dogs and cats are required to be spayed/neutered before the adoption can be finalized.

Adoption Fee: $90
