We believe that each of our dogs, whether a puppy, a senior, a troubled teenager, or like most, a completely lovable normal dog, has the same value but we do vary our fee from $590 for our seniors to $850 for other dogs. Our kittens are $400 each and our cats are $300.
What happens to dogs who don’t get adopted?
If your dog doesn’t get adopted within its 72 hours and the shelter is full, it will be destroyed. If the shelter isn’t full and your dog is good enough, and of a desirable enough breed, it may get a stay of execution, though not for long.

How much does it cost to adopt a dog?
That price varies depending on the size of the dog, sex, age, and geographic location, but Gollon says it can often be more than the total cost—between $200 and $450—of all adoption fees, which makes adopting a noticeably less expensive option. Gollon says all dogs (as well as cats and rabbits) are spayed or neutered before they’re adopted.
How much does it cost to adopt a Doberman from shelter?
Dogs from shelters are stessed and in close quarters with other dogs, so they are more likely to be sickly. The cost of dog adoption varies from shelter to shelter. For instance, Kenai Animal Shelter in Alaska charges a small adoption fee of around $20.
What is included in the adoption fee?
The adoption fee helps to cover the cost for desexing, vaccinating, microchipping, flea treating and worming your new pet. All dogs and cats available for adoption undergo a thorough heath and temperament test from a qualified veterinarian and the Home’s behavioural department before adoption. Dogs are heartworm checked and cats are FIV tested.
