Here
are this weeks adoptions at
the Animal Services Unit
The
Animal Services Unit
desires to provide the best
possible homes for our
available animals. Be sure
you are ready for the
responsibility of a new pet
before you take one home.
They deserve a family that
will care for all their
needs for as long as they
live, which could be several
decades in some cases. The
adoption cost is a $60
non-refundable fee. * You
must also pay the $10 County
registration fee which is
payable at the time of
adoption
Animals may be adopted from
the shelter between noon and
4:45 p.m. Monday through
Friday.
All animals have been spayed
or neutered prior to being
placed in our adoption area.
They have also received
routine vaccinations and
deworming for hooks and
rounds. Dogs are not tested
for heartworms. Adoptive
owners are responsible for
rabies vaccinations.
Are You Ready for a New Pet?
-
Do I have the extra time
needed to properly care
for an animal?
-
Can I afford the extra
costs of being a pet
owner such as vet bills,
food, medication, toys,
grooming and more?
-
Am I renting? If YES, am
I aware of any animal
restrictions, such as
breed or weight? Will
there be additional
costs added to my lease?
-
Do I have any other
pets? If so, will the
animals get along with
each other?
-
Will I be able to
provide a stable and
loving home for a pet
for the next 10-20
years?
