Save-A-Pet

Adoption Procedure & Fees We may not be able to accommodate unscheduled walk-in visits to view our dog and cats because we are focused on caring for our animals. If you would like to meet a dog or cat, we ask that you please complete an online adoption questionnaire and an adoption counselor will be in touch to schedule an appointment. You will not be able to adopt an animal without an appointment, and approved adoption questionnaire on file. However, if you have any questions about Save-A-Pet, or our adoption process, please feel free to come in to the facility and speak to an adoption counselor in our lobby. After your questionnaire is received and reviewed, one of our adoption counselors will contact you. Please allow up to 3-4 business days for this process to be completed as we are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The adoption counselor will schedule a date and time for you to enter the facility to interact with the cat or dog. They will also provide further details regarding your appointment, such as what documentation you should bring, family members that must accompany you, etc. What should I bring? • Driver’s license or other current picture I.D. • If you rent, bring a copy of your lease or your landlord’s name and phone number, and association bylaws if you live in a condo or community that has specific rules. • Family or household members who will live with the pet need to meet the potential adoptive dog or cat at the adoption center. • Any resident dog in the household needs to meet the potential adoptive dog at the adoption center. Adoption Fee for Dogs • $450: Puppy (up to 7 months) • $350: Young Adult (7 months up to 5 years) • $250: Mature Adult (5 years to 8 years) • $150: Senior (8 years and older) • $50 if you are over 60 and adopt a dog over 8 years Dog Adoption Fee Includes • Spay/neuter surgery • All age-appropriate vaccinations incl. rabies vaccination • Microchip • Tested for heartworm, and on heartworm preventative year-around • Fecal testing • Monthly flea/tick preventative • Collar and leash • Small bag of Hills Science Diet • The animal’s complete medical record Prospective Pet Interactions Pet interactions are done after a questionnaire has been submitted, and in designated visiting areas. Interactions typically last from 15 to 30 minutes. You may have to wait for an interaction room or staff person to become available, and we appreciate your patience in advance. All family or household members who will live with the pet may be asked to come meet the potential adoptive dog or cat at the adoption center (at Save-A-Pet staff’s discretion). All children under the age of 12 are required to meet the potential adoptive dog or cat at the adoption center in all situations.
