Additional adoption info

If interested in an animal at our shelter please fill out an adoption application online at limestonepets.org. The application is the first step in the process but doesn't commit you to a certain animal-it just helps us get basic information that we need before adoption takes place.

The adoption fee for a dog or cat 6 months and older is $110 and for puppies and kittens under 6 months it is $170.

The adoption fee covers the animals spay or neuter and basic physical exam. For dogs it also includes vaccines for parvo/distemper, bordetella, and rabies, a heartworm test and fecal test. For cats it includes vaccines for FVRCP, feline leukemia, and rabies, deworm, and a combo test.

Alabama law requires that any animal adopted from a shelter be spayed or neutered.
