Adult Dogs & Puppies that have been altered, the adoption fee is $150 (includes spaying\neutering, license, age appropriate shots, microchip). If dogs/puppies are not altered, the adoption fee is $150 for NYS residents and $175 for out of state residents. The adoption fee includes age appropriate vaccinations, deworming, license and microchip (to be implanted by shelter staff when puppies are over 4 months). Adopter must sign contract agreeing to spay/neuter by 16 wks. of age. If a NYS voucher is provided, $30 will be refunded to adopter upon proof of altering. If out of state or a voucher is not provided, $75 is returned to adopter upon proof of spaying/neutering.
Licensing: All dogs/puppies adopted by NYS residents will be licensed at the time of adoption.
Senior dogs or special needs dogs are adopted out at a reduced fee or the fee is waived if an excellent home is found.
We try to match each dog with its new home so that chances for a successful, lifetime placement are much higher. Each interested party is asked to fill out an application. Once the application is completed, we interview the potential adopter.
All dogs over 16 weeks old are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. Strict follow-ups are made to insure puppies are spayed/neutered when they reach 16 weeks of age.
Visitation is by appointment only; morning, evening and weekend appointments are available.
