Germantown Animal Shelter

Adoption hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Adoption fees are usually $80 per animal and an Adoption Questionnaire is required. For cats, this fee includes spay/neuter surgery, first round of vaccinations and rabies, fecal testing/deworming, FIV/FeLV testing and microchipping. For dogs, this fee includes spay/neuter surgery, first round of vaccinations and rabies, fecal testing/deworming, heartworm testing (treatment if needed) and microchipping. All animals are examined at Germantown Farmington Animal Hospital and medically cleared before adoption. The Germantown Animal Shelter is a first-come, first-serve facility for adoptions. Animals may be placed on a 24-hour hold after Step 4 (below) is completed. Here’s how the process of adopting an animal from the Shelter works: 1. The potential adopter must complete the Adoption Questionnaire form and have the form approved by Shelter staff 30 minutes before closing. 2. All family members in the home must meet the animal or be aware that the potential adopter wants to adopt the animal. 3. Any potential adopter must physically meet with the animal they want to adopt. 4. For all dog adoptions, meet and greets are required if there are other dogs living in the household or who are frequent visitors. 5. The adopter will then sign and review the adoption contract in detail with staff.
