Animal Care Center Adoption Program
Our Animal Care Center has many wonderful pets to adopt. All are in desperate need of a loving home. If you are thinking about adding a new pet to your family, please consider one of our animals. We have friendly and knowledgeable staff available to help you choose a pet to best fit in with your needs and lifestyle.
Remember though, adding a pet to your family is a big decision. All animals require training and commitment. Some pets can live well into their teens and many may have special medical needs as they get older, such as medication, frequent checkups, etc., just like people. All these things, including the joy of having a loyal friend, should be factored in before you decide to take on this responsibility.
Adoption Requirements
To adopt an animal from the Animal Care Center, you must be over 18 years old and have a government issued photo ID.
Adoption Fees
Dog and cat adoption fees include spay / neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchipping, and a one-year license. Rabbit adoption fees include vaccinations and microchipping. * Prices may vary for highly adoptable animals
