The fees we charge for adoption have given your new pet all the things to have a great new start with you. CAT hosts a variety of adoption events throughout the year. Sometimes we're able to offer reduced-fee or no-fee adoptions thanks to grants or other subsidized funding. We always work closely with adopters to make sure we're connecting you with a pet that's a good fit for your family and finances. You should always consider that the cost of caring for a pet will be much more than the adoption fee alone. Often, we reduce or waive the fee for cats who we know will have a higher lifetime cost due to chronic medical or behavior conditions or age.
In these instances, it's especially important to think about the ongoing costs before making your adoption decision. Like many animal shelters across the country, we use variable adoption pricing. We can help more animals in need by pricing pets in high demand at a higher rate. These higher adoption fees leave a legacy for other animals in our care that are older, require extensive medical care, or need more time to find a home. We often reduce the adoption fees on these harder-to-place pets.
Check our adoptable pets page for a specific animal's adoption fee. Every animal that DHA intakes is provided with a basic standard of care to prepare them for adoption, including spay/neuter surgery, testing for common diseases, vaccinations, and microchipping. The majority of animals that enter our shelter have NOT received this care prior to their arrival. The costs can add up to a significant amount for DHA, and our adoption fees help us recover only a portion of these expenses.
There is an additional fee of $12.50 for the City License for any cat or dog that has received its rabies vaccination. Foster families play a critical role in our shelter. They provide homes and lifesaving care for puppies, kittens, dogs and cats awaiting adoption that can't stay in the shelter environment. Right now, we urgently need foster parents willing to bottle feed motherless puppies and kittens. If you're willing to foster any animals from the Humane Society, apply today. Cats and dogs are microchipped, and you receive an offer for a free trial of pet insurance.
Your adoption fee will help pay for a portion of the medical, behavioral and daily care your pet received at CHS.

There is no fee to participate- and at the end of the 6 months we follow up to see if you're still interested in finding a special friend! This program can help lessen the lengthy stay of these sweet animals in the shelter by placing them in loving homes faster!

Adopters age 60+ can receive half priced adoption fees when adopting cats and dogs 6 years or more or rabbits 4 years or older.
We primarily base adoption fees based on animal longevity; thus younger dogs will cost more than older dogs. Even with higher fees, these dogs tend to find homes within days – or even hours – of going out on the adoption floor. Their adoption fees allow them to act as benefactors to dogs that need more time in the shelter before they find a home.
We use a variable pricing system and the adoption fee for each animal is dependent on many factors including age, breed, and health of the individual animal. Adoption fees range from $55-$600 for dogs and $25-$175 for cats. The adoption fee for each animal is included on their animal profile.

Adoption fees help cover the cost of caring for animals during their stay at the shelter. Expenses include food, utilities, equipment, staffing, animal vaccinations, spay/neuter surgeries, and other veterinary care. Available animals can be viewed online and by stopping by the shelter during business hours. If you see an animal on our website that you are interested in adopting, you will need to visit the animal at the shelter before submitting the application.
Superhero Adoption fees are higher than standard adoption fees and may be assigned to animals who are purebred or who are highly sought-after breeds.

The fee covers a cat's spay or neuter surgery, the first set of shots, and an identification microchip. Feline leukemia or FIV tests may be administered upon request for a minimal fee.
For those living in the Boise city limits, a rabies vaccination is required which costs $10.

However, every adoption fee includes care instructions, a free health exam at local veterinarians, a discount at local pet stores and a guarantee of lifetime advice. Adopters also get a free follow-up wellness exam at VCA Animal Hospitals, pet care counseling, and a free month of pet insurance with Trupanion.

Hidden Gems are animals who have been overlooked by other adopters and have a discounted adoption fee to help them find their forever homes. When animals have been available for adoption for over 30 days or if they have special housing requirements they will become one of our Hidden Gems.

Adoption prices may vary based on an animal's age, size, breed, medical condition or length of time at the shelter. When you adopt from Kitsap Humane Society your adoption fee helps provide medical care, food, and shelter to the animals in our care. If you are considering adopting, you will be required to complete an adoption application and undergo a screening process. This determines that the pet is a good match for you, your home and your lifestyle. We also discuss the details of your situation with you in depth. For example, if you rent, we would need to know that your landlord approves of pet ownership.
If you have children and pets in your family, we'll make sure the adopted pet is compatible. Any animal that leaves the Idaho Humane Society is microchipped, spayed/neutered, and vaccinated. Oftentimes pets receive additional medical care depending on their needs when they arrive. We will provide all medical reports and discuss their healthcare prior to adoption.
Additionally, you'll leave with peace of mind knowing our behavior experts are here for you should any questions or concerns arise down the road. You may have noticed on our website that our adoption fees vary between individual animals. Having a higher adoption fee for some animals who will find a home quickly enables us to care for animals in need of lifesaving medical and behavioral intervention, who are with us longer. Each animal's profile has their individual fee listed on their profile page.
As your local humane society, we have a responsibility to place animals in suitable environments that will promote loving bonds between adopters and their pets. Through our adoption process, we will help you find the right pet for you, the one that fulfills your expectations, and suits your lifestyle. An adoption counsellor will guide you to ensure that the adoption experience will prove positive for both you and your new companion animal. The long-term well-being of the animals in our care is our main concern; therefore, not all adoption requests may be successful. The Humane Society of El Paso is a private, non-profit animal shelter that does not receive any city, state, or federal funding.
We rely on grants, adoption fees, private donations, and fundraising events for all of our operating expenses. Rabies vaccination is required by law and CCHS will vaccinate dogs and cats against rabies when it is safe and appropriate to do so under the standards of veterinary practice. If we are not able to vaccinate against rabies prior to adoption, the responsibility for a rabies vaccination will fall on the new pet owner.
When you first get a dog, you have to take him or her in for numerous tests and vaccinations.For a male dog, it can cost pet owners around $300 and for female dogs over $400! We do all the tests, spaying and neutering, and vaccinations for you – all included in our adoption fee. If you adopt from the Fond du Lac Humane Society, the adoption fee is a big savings over the free cat or dog. These dogs are in quieter kennels in our behavior modification program because they don't do well in the busy general adoption kennel environment.

The Adoption Concierge Program is an exciting matching program that will help interested adopters find the perfect canine companions to match their home and lifestyle. Once a questionnaire has been submitted, OHS adoption counselors will begin the search for a match. After a match has been made, potential adopters will have their very own meet and greet with the animal and decide if their home will be this pet's forever home.
Every day animals at the Ottawa Humane Society find new homes. Each year the Society finds homes for more than 4,000 cats, dogs and small domestic pets.

Adoption fees do not include $10 rabies tag fee for all dogs and cats.
It is our policy that all animals adopted from HSHC be spayed/neutered before they go to their new homes.

We also often run adoption specials so be sure to ask when you visit us. The adoption fee includes all of the benefits shared above. What is even more important is finding the best fit for our adoptable animals.
We strive ourselves with finding that "best fit" – this is more important to our humane society then processing numbers. Our adoption goal is to match you with a forever companion that will fit your family and lifestyle. Our adoption staff will follow up in a few days to provide more information and set up an in-person appointment to meet the animal. It's required that you wear a mask to your appointment. Stop by our Peter Detkin and Michelle Oates Detkin ACC during adoption hours.
