Adoption Information

Animals Available for Adoption

You can view all of the animals we have available for adoption and set up email alerts on our Adopt a Pet site. 

All adoptions include initial vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchip, and a certificate for a free examination with a local veterinarian. Dog adoptions also include one-year license, leash, and collar.

Effective January 1, 2022 adoption fees are as follows:

• Puppy: up to 1 year of age: $250
• Dog: age 1 to7 $175
• Senior dog: age 8 and above $125
• Kitten: up to 1 year of age $100
• Cat: aged 1 to 7 years of age $75
• Senior cat: age 8 and above $50
• Free spirited cats in our barn/shop cat program: no fee

We understand that adopting a pet is a big decision with many factors to consider. We offer full refunds for animals returned within one week of adoption in order to give everyone in your family an opportunity to see if it is a perfect fit. We also offer full refunds if your free veterinary visit reveals medical issues you are not able or willing to take on. (Please note that it takes a few weeks to process a refund.)
