Adoption Process

The adoption process includes submitting an application and undergoing a basic background check for abuse. There are adoption fees of $80 for cats and $170 for dogs. A contract must be signed at the time of adoption, which stipulates that the animal must be returned to us if it cannot be kept, rather than being rehomed.

Service Areas

The service area includes all of Elkhart County, excluding the city limits of Nappanee. It also covers the cities of Elkhart, Goshen, Middlebury, and Dunlap.
