Adoption Fees

Adoption Fees:

Puppy Adoption Fee: $250 (4 months or younger)

Adult Dog Adoption Fee: $195 (over 4 months old)

Kitten Adoption Fee: $125 (4 months or younger)

Adult Cat Adoption fee: $75 (over 4 months old)


Adoption fees are collected at the time the Adoption Contract is reviewed and completed, prior to the pet being left. The fees can be collected only as a credit/debit payment. If the family decides at the end of the seven day guarantee period that the pet is not a good fit, the family can be re-matched via the matchmaker or the funds can be returned.


*If the adopter does not have a credit/debit card, the following are available as options: (1) the adopter can purchase a Visa debit/credit gift card from a local store to utilize for this one time expense, (2) If the foster can take cash from the adopter and pay the adoption fee with their own credit/debit card, or (3) the adoption can be finalized at the shelter where cash/check will be accepted [the pet cannot be left with the adopter until the payment has been processed]


When preparing for an adoption, please be sure to check with the Adoption Team to confirm if there are any "Adoption Specials" that might impact the adoption fee.
