Pet Adoption The Pennington County Humane Society animal shelter is licensed by the Minnesota Department of Animal Health (license # MN139638) for up to 27 dogs/puppies & up to 60 cats/kittens. The shelter is often filled to the maximum allowed by the license. While we try to keep the available animals listed online, we may have new intakes – so if you don’t see what you want, please call us. To adopt from Pennington County Humane Society, you must be over 21 or over 18 years old with a co-signer. You must own the home where you are living or have a signed statement from your landlord permitting you to have a pet in a leased or rented home Cats must be kept indoors in city limits unless leashed and accompanied by a responsible adult. Many mobile home parks have their own rules (such as size restrictions), so please check with the park manager before attempting to adopt. Many cities have pet ordinances that must be followed. These include proper vaccinations and licensing. Some communities may restrict the number of pets allowed in each household. Be sure to check your local ordinances before attempting to adopt. All adoptions must be done by the person the pet will be living with most of the time. We do not allow pets to be adopted as gifts for other people. You may, however, pay the adoption fee for a pet, and we will provide a “gift certificate,” which allows the recipient to adopt without additional cost. To adopt, the recipient must meet the guidelines listed above. Adoption fees are non-refundable. Adoption fee for a dog- $185-$225 Adoption fee for a puppy- $250-$300 Adoption fee for a cat - $50-$150 Adoption fee for kitten- $150-$200 *We do have adoption fee specials at times.
