Adoption Process

Adopt Today

To begin the adoption process, we require an interview (we may use Google Earth for homechecks). If you own your home, we will check property records to verify. If you rent, we will call your landlord to make sure you have their approval to adopt a pet. We expect our animals to become part of your family!

Adoption applications are good for 6 months if none of your information has changed.

All applications take approximately 24-48 hours to process.

  • Dog Adoption Fee Starting at $75
  • Puppies (under 1 year) = Starting at $200
  • Dogs (1-8 years) = Starting at $125
  • Hypoallergenic or Specialty Breed = Call for Adoption Fee
  • Senior Dogs (over 8 years old) / Special needs = $75
  • Cat adoption fee – $100

*Adoption fees include all age-appropriate vaccinations to date, spay/neuter, deworming and microchip

Important Information

Applicants must be at least 24 years of age to adopt or foster from PAWS. If you have adopted from us in the past 6 months and nothing has changed on your application, your previous application will be used.

Please consider making a $10 donation to the PAWS medical fund. We spend a minimum of $300-$500 per rescue. Our adoption fees range from $50+. All of our animals are vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, spayed or neutered. Many receive full dentals and other medical care as needed. Thank you for your consideration.
