Adoption: Dogs
IIf you are interested in adopting a dog, simply fill out and print an application, submit an application online, or stop by the shelter to complete the process. The adoption fee for a dog aged from 6 months up to 8 years is $190.00 (puppies under 6 months are $260.00 and dogs 8 and up are $145.00). Greyhounds are subject to a $60.00 surcharge for dental cleaning expenses. The adoption fee includes spaying or neutering, the first series of vaccinations, a heart worm test, internal and external parasite control, a collar with leash and personalized ID tag, and the offer of discounted Obedience Classes. All of our dogs and puppies are spayed or neutered before going into their new home, in hopes of reducing the number of unwanted animals we see in the shelter each year.
Our Paws Across America Transfer dogs are available for adoption periodically for our adoption fee plus a $60.00 surcharge, which provides money for their transportation as well as a spay/neuter amount that is sent back to the originating shelter to help fund their sterilization program. The Animal Welfare Society is dedicated to halting the pet-over population problem throughout the country.
Check out one of our long term resident dogs: These dogs have been at the shelter for over 8 weeks.

Please take the time to read about each dog's personality...you just might find a new friend for life!

We typically have a variety of dogs available for adoption. This includes pure and mixed breeds. The average age of our dogs varies but we always have a large selection of dogs between 1 - 2 years old. We also have some "oldies but goodies" available for adoption. These dogs are usually house trained and have great manners. Finally, we occasionally have litters of puppies and young transfer dogs available. For more information, please call (207) 985-3244.
