Potential pet adopters must complete a pre-screening application before meeting any of the animals outside of their kennel or cage and meet a list of requirements before adopting.
Minimum Requirements for Adoption
Must be at least 18 years of age with a valid U.S. government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or state issued identification (ID)
Must have landlord/property owner approval
No history of animal cruelty
Must sign an agreement acknowledging that they can spend the time and resources necessary to provide the training, medical treatment and proper care for the pet
Pre-Screening for Visitations
Potential pet adopters must complete a pre-screening application before meeting any of the animals outside of their kennel or cage. The pre-screening will give the Linda L. Kelley Animal Shelter a better understanding of the potential adopter’s expectations for a pet, lifestyle and the environment in which a new animal would be placed.
Once the pre-screening application has been completed, the potential adopter will be matched with a member of our staff to review the application and help you find your potential match. Please fill out the appropriate pre-screening form:
Note: Completing a pre-screening form DOES NOT place a hold on an animal or guarantee adoption.
Adoption Fees
Fees associated with adopting an animal from the shelter help to cover adoption services. The cat fee is $40, the dog fee is $75, the small animal fee is $10 and the livestock fee is $15.
Things to consider before adoption:
Adopting a new pet is a long-term commitment
You should be sure ALL family members are on board with a new pet
While visiting the shelter, keep in mind that it is a stressful place for many animals and they may not show well in their kennels/cages
