Adoption Fees & What's Included

Our goal is to have all of our adopted pets go to their new homes as healthy as possible. Our vets provide a full array of preventive care for our shelter animals when they first arrive and continue caring for them while they are living at our shelter. Sick or injured pets are treated to the best of our abilities, often using funds provided through donations to Gabriel's Fund. Gabriel's Fund donations allow us to provide tests, heartworm treatments, xrays, surgeries, and more for those pets in need-- things we normally could not afford.

Our staff is also here to provide helpful information and answer any questions about caring for your new pet, before and after you take your pet home. We send each pet home with information to help you with caring for, training, and addressing common behavioral issues. You'll also receive a DVD-- Pets Incredible Completely Cats or Complete Dog Training-- which are both excellent tools to help you with your new pet.

Visit the Pets Incredible web site for more info and to see the other DVDs they offer.

The Gentle Leader® Headcollar and the Easy Walk™ Harness: For our medium and large size adult dogs who haven't quite mastered "heel" yet and tend to pull on their leash, we are also offering two excellent training products made by Premier Pet Products. While our supply lasts we can fit and send your new dog home with either The Gentle Leader® Headcollar or the Easy Walk™ Harness at no extra cost. Some of our dogs are already using these products at satellites or at the shelter when going for walks.

The Gentle Leader® Headcollar quickly controls jumping, pulling, barking, chewing and begging.

The Easy Walk™ Harness is designed to gently discourage your dog from pulling while walking on a leash.

Visit Premier Pet's web site for more info about these and their other products.
