An animal shelter or pound is a place where stray, lost, abandoned or surrendered animals, mostly dogs and cats, and sometimes sick or wounded wildlife are brought.
Not all animal shelters are the same.
Fortunate homeless and unwanted animals end up in the hundreds of open-admission animal shelters that are staffed by professional, caring people.
At these facilities, frightened animals are reassured, sick and injured animals receive treatment or a peaceful end to their suffering, and the animals’ living quarters are kept clean and dry.
Workers at these facilities never turn away needy animals and give careful consideration to each animal’s special emotional and physical needs.
To be able to offer refuge to every animal in need, open-admission shelters must euthanize unadopted and unadoptable animals. The alternative—turning them away—is cruel and leaves the animals in grave danger.
The Animal Foundation has reduced their adoption fees and like many shelters across the country, they use variable adoption pricing.
Some animals are considered more desirable and easier to adopt.
Their higher adoption fees leave a financial legacy for other animals needing extensive medical care or more time to find a forever home.
What Does Your Adoption Fee Include?
Adoption fees include:
Puppies (under 6 mo. old) $200
Adult Dogs (6 mo. and older) $50
Kittens (under 6 mo. old) $50
Adult Cats (6 mo. and older) $25
Rabbits $25
Ferrets $75
Chickens and Ducks $5
Snakes $25 – $50
Guinea Pigs $10
Hamsters, Rats, Gerbils $5
*Prices vary depending on size, age and breed. Please see one of their adoption counselors for more information.
