All dogs and cats adopted from the shelter must be neutered within a reasonable period of time, depending upon the age of the animal. This is in accordance with state law. Other requirements coincide with those ordinances on the books of the city of Stephenville such as vaccinations, tags, number of pets in the household, etc. Stephenville Police Department employs two officers to enforce those regulations.
Adoption Fees
Dogs $40.00 Cats $30.00
All adopted animals must be spayed or neutered after they are 6 months old. This is required by law. You will be given a coupon toward the cost of the procedure:
Dogs $30.00 coupon
Cats $20.00 coupon
Please check with the shelter to find out which veterinarians will honor the coupons. The pet owner must pay any fees beyond the value of the coupon. Normally, we require that the animal be spayed or neutered within 30 days after it is 6 months old.
No Health Guarantee
It is not possible for the shelter to guarantee the health of any adopted pet. However, should the animal die within two weeks, you may select another pet. There can be no refunds.
Giving Up the Pet
If at any time you can no longer keep the pet, you must return it to the animal shelter.
