Jc’s FAQs

What is Clarke County Animal Shelter’s adoption process?

We do offer same day adoptions, however, pre-adoption applications are required for all potential adopters prior to any adoption. Our cat adoption fee is $35, plus the cost of spay/neuter (cost varies depending on location); our dog adoption fee is $50, plus the cost of spay/neuter (cost varies depending on location). Pocket pets (hamsters, mice, rats, etc) are $10, rabbits are $15, ferrets and reptiles are $25. Livestock are $50-$100 depending on the animal. Adoption and spay/neuter fees are non-refundable and due at time of adoption. We can accept cash/card/check for adoption fees, but can only accept cash/check for spay/neuter fees. You must pay in EXACT CHANGE if paying with cash. If you are interested in a pet, you are welcome to stop by any time during our hours of operation. If you have any questions or are interested in a specific pet, please give the shelter a call directly at 540-955-5104. Appointments are not required, but if you are interested in a specific animal, this can ensure you are able to visit with them and you will receive priority. We cannot hold animals longer than 24 hours, and cannot schedule appointments further than 48 hours out. We do NOT place holds on any animal under 6 months old.
