cindybug asked: I want to adopt a cat, but will not be able to take him/her home until next weekend (April 6), is that okay? I can fill out all the necessary forms and pay tomorrow, but would need you to hold him/her until the 6th.

During this event all animals will need to be taken home after adoption. You may want to visit the shelter later in the week. Thanks.

Ready to Adopt?

Here’s what you need to bring with you to the Adopt-a-Thon:

  • Please bring a government issued ID and proof of address if your current address is not on your ID.
  • Carriers will be available for purchase but you may bring one if you like.
  • Leashes, harnesses and collars will be available for purchase but you may bring them if you like.
  • We are allowing you to “pay what you will” for your new pet but please keep in mind that all animals will be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccines.  Our regular adoption fees range from $250 - $150 for a dog and $100 - $50 for a cat.
  • All adoption fees must be paid by cash or credit card.
  • You don’t need to bring every family member but make sure to discuss having a new pet with everyone playing a role in his/her care.
