The adoption fee for unaltered dogs and cats is the cost to spay or neuter plus $55 to cover microchipping, first vaccination and worming. Additional fees may apply if other medical work is done prior to adoption. Generally in our area the fees will be from $154 for a male dog and up to $190 for a female dog or about $95 and up for a cat adoption, depending on which veterianrian we can get the animal into for the alteration surgery. Please contact the shelter for more information.
With the lack of funding and donations in this tough economy, we are going to have to reduce the numbers of dogs and cats in residence and we will not be able to keep them as long as we have in the past. Also, some of the dogs we would normally treat for medical conditions or injuries will not be treated and will be euthanized and will have to start euthanizing those that test positive for heartworms.
We are a small county animal control shelter and must sometimes make tough decisions on who gets to stay and who must go if adoptions or qualified rescues are not forthcoming. We only have to move on in our small shelter because of space, not for lack of caring.

The Crawford County Humane Society is an open door non-profit organization. Our goal is to provide a safe place for animals in need to go. We provide animal control for Crawford County which is a rural community. On our very limited budget we operate a shelter that works hard thru mostly volunteerism to have a very efficient loving shelter.
Sad to say we can not keep them forever. There is never enough space even though we would make you smile to see how creative we are finding a nook in our little building to keep a litter just one more day.
Some of our biggest challenges come in finding homes for the larger dogs like: Labs, Rotweillers, St. Bernards, etc. all of these animals are beautiful and of course have great temperaments. All of our animals, be it a puppy, dog, kitten or cat, have great personalities and will respond to your affection with a bond that will last a lifetime. They know what you have done for them when you adopt one.
I could go on and on for some of us have worked and dreamed for ten years for this shelter, keeping animals in our homes, using our own funds and energy. Finally one gentleman donated a piece of ground and two sisters gave us the means to build the shelter. The rest is up to us. With your help we will find homes for your next best friend.
Hours are Tuesday through Saturday 1-5pm. We are closed Sunday and Monday and holidays: New Year's day, July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
