Additional adoption info

We do not use a first-come, first-serve process when adopting out our animals. Instead, we focus on best fit for each individual animal. The process is intended to ensure a long-term successful adoption for both the family and pet.

​All of our adoptable animals have had a complete veterinarian checkup. Our cats and kittens are FeLV/FIV tested. Our dogs and puppies are heartworm tested. All of our animals are spayed/neutered, dewormed, and have received age appropriate vaccines before going to their forever homes.

Feline adoption fees - $125 for kittens under 8 months, $100 if over 8 months, and $60 if over 9 years old.

Canine adoption fees - $350 for puppies under 1 year, $300 if over 1 year, and $200 if over 7 years old.
