Adoption Fees (Special event pricing may be available)

Adoption fees include spay or neuter surgery, microchip, heartworm tests, basic vaccinations including rabies, and other veterinary care as needed while at the shelter.  The adopter is responsible for any medical care after the adoption has been completed. Adopters are required to take their new pet to a primary vet within the first week after adoption. Owners will be provided a copy of their pets medical record to show the veterinarian.

• Cats of all ages ‐ $25
• Dogs of all ages ‐ $50
  
  
  

Animal License Tags

Escambia County residents must also purchase a license for $15 (animals must be licensed within seven days of adoption), and then annually. The tag must be worn by the cat or dog. This tag provides information that will allow Animal Services to easily verify if the animal is current on rabies vaccinations in the event of a bite. It helps in contacting the owner of a lost animal.  

• Altered Animal ‐$15
• Unaltered Animal ‐ $40
• Duplicate tag (replacement for a lost tag) ‐ $6
• Dangerous/vicious dog registration (annual renewal) ‐ $200

• Cardboard cat carrier (for the safety of adopted cats and their adopters we require that the adopter have some type of acceptable carrier to transport the new pet home) ‐ $5
• Feline Leukemia Test (by adopter request, must be paid for before testing) - $20
