We encourage meet and greets to make sure you’re adopting the perfect pet for your family. The fee for cats and dogs includes spaying or neutering, microchipping and microchip registration, up-to-date vaccinations, collar, leash for dogs, cardboard carrier for cats and rabbits, tag, and a certificate for one free check-up with our shelter veterinarian.
