Life is better when you adopt a shelter pet! Adopting an animal from Regional SPCA is an easy process which will help you find the dog or cat that is perfect for you and your family.


OUR ADOPTION PROCESS HAS CHANGED!!

The first step is to fill out an online application. Only after an application is accepted will we make an appointment for you and your family to come meet the animal(s) you are interested in adopting.

Meet Regional's Awesome Adoptable Animals!

We’re having intermittent issues with pulling our adoptable animal information and technical support is working on a fix. If nothing happens when clicking on the pictures, please look at their information on Petfinder. We apologize for the inconvenience!

Adoption Fees

$325: Puppies under 6 months old can go home as soon as they are 10 weeks or older. The adoption fee includes the spay/neuter (scheduled at the time of adoption if under 6 months with one of our vets), microchip, Rabies vaccination, 5-in-1 vaccination (against canine distemper, canine hepatitis, adenovirus, parainfluenza, and parvovirus), Lyme vaccination, Bordetella vaccination, worming, nail trim and flea treatment (if necessary).

$250: Dogs 6 months and older.

$125 ($175 bonded pair): Cats and kittens. Fees include the spay/neuter, microchip, FIV/FeLV testing, Rabies vaccination, distemper shots, worming, nail trim and flea treatment (if necessary). All cats and kittens available are in foster homes and not at the shelter. Want to see us help more cats and kittens? Apply to foster!

 

Payment can be made by cash, check, or credit card and is due at the time of adoption.

Pilot would like to remind you why adopting a shelter pet is awesome.

1. Adopting is cheaper than buying a puppy or kitten. Your new furry family member comes fully vetted, fixed, microchipped, and ready to cuddle their way into your heart. 

 

2. You will bring a super awesome animal into your life who will love you forever (more than they already do)

 

3. You are opening a spot for another animal that needs a safe space as they wait to find their home.

 

4. You are giving an awesome animal the life they’ve always wanted by being their most favorite human ever in the history of ever just because you are theirs.

How much it costs to get a dog ready for adoption

Want to apply to adopt one of these awesome animals?

Please use the online adoption form below.

Our goal is to ensure the welfare of the pet by placements in the best possible home.

Please understand that not all families and pets are compatible.
Every effort is made to match traits exhibited by a pet with the characteristics you desire.

We DO NOT adopt on a "first come, first served" basis.

Important information to know prior to completing an application

  • Applicants should be 21 years of age or older and have identification showing present address.
  • Animals are not put “on hold” for anyone for any reason.
  • Submission of any application is not a guarantee of being approved to adopt an animal. All applications are subject to both veterinary and personal reference checks. You must give your veterinarian permission to talk to our adoption team or we will not be able to process your application.
  • Meet and greets are scheduled after an adoption application has been accepted, and are required if there are resident dog(s) in your home. There are select volunteers who are allowed to handle such meets and therefore may not be able to schedule something right away. These meets are done at the shelter and proof of vaccination for your resident dog(s) should be shown at the time of meet and greet.
  • When you come to the shelter to meet a dog, come prepared to meet outside as our shelter is too small to facilitate meetings inside. As a result, proper footwear and clothing is suggested for the current weather.
  • Cats and kittens can go home the same day if your application is approved and there are no other pets in your home. Please come prepared to take your new pet home. Please ask us what you will need if you are unsure. The adoption fee for cats is $125.
  • Finally, dogs are not sent home the same day you come to meet them. This is done so that you and your family, as well as the adoption staff have time to consider the meet and make sure we are doing what is best for the dog rather than bouncing them from place to place. If ultimately approved, we will schedule a time to come pick the dog up for a contracted trial adoption. This will give you up to 2 weeks to make a decision on officially adopting or bringing the dog back to the shelter. When an adoption is finalized, there is a non-refundable adoption fee of $250.00 for dogs and $325.00 for puppies (6 months and under).

Please add adopt@fcrspca.org to your allowlist as email as our preferred method of contact.

If you do not hear from us, check your spam folder and/or contact us through our website or social media.

You will receive a copy of your application upon successful submission from regional@bounce.sheltermanager.com.
We are a volunteer-only organization and as such, it takes time for us to process all of the reference and vet checks.
Please allow us two weeks to process your application although we try to process them as fast as possible.

This is a long application and is best filled out on a computer.
We do not recommend filling out on a mobile device.
