While the hope is always to reunite lost pets with their owners, the reality is many strays are never claimed.

 

When a stray comes into the shelter it is held for 3 business days - this gives the owner a chance to find their pet.  After the 3rd day, in accordance with the county guidelines, that animal becomes property of the county and is eligible for adoption.

 

All dogs & cats are spayed/neutered before being adopted out to help combat the over population problems of this area.  They are wormed, flea treated and given basic vaccines. 

The new owner also receives a voucher for a free exam at one of our local participating veterinarians.

 

Adoption fees are based on the age and adaptability of the animal, and therefore vary.  The average fee for cats is $65 - $75, the fee for dogs average $100- $150.  Contact the  ASO for each animal’s adoption fee.
