Before you go

Adopting from Adams County Animal Shelter

Adoption process

To adopt an animal from our facility, you will need to complete an adoption contract and pay the associated fees. The adoption fee for a cat ranges from $10 to $35, while the fee for a dog ranges from $30 to $120. All animals must be sterilized prior to leaving the shelter. If an animal is not sterilized at the time of adoption, it will be spayed or neutered by our shelter veterinarian before departure. Adoption fees cover all vaccinations, and the exact amount depends on the spay/neuter status of the animal.
