Minimum Fees for Adoption

Listed below are the minimum fees for adopting an animal from our shelter.  We have more than likely spent considerably more than this amount caring for your new friend while he or she has been with us -- you are certainly welcome to donate more than the minimum fee and help the next homeless animal find their forever home!
