The first would be to meet the pet you're interested in adopting and to fill out the adoption application form which must be reviewed and approved by an adoption counselor. This is to help determine if the adopter and pet are compatible.</p> 181 182<p>We hope you will agree the welfare of these pets is our first consideration in processing all adoptions. The adoption process of this shelter may be somewhat different from larger shelters. We do our best to make available healthy pets with appropriate temperaments and to place them in the home that would be most suitable for them. All adoption applications will be reviewed for approval by an adoption counselor who is also a board member. The adoption counselors have the right to accept or deny any application based on the information provided.</p> 183 184<p>An application for adoption must be made in person at our shelter. We wish to make the adoption experience a positive one for all adopters. For this reason it's important that we are assured the adopter is fully prepared for the responsibility involved in caring for a pet. Long-distance adoption applications must still be made in person and may require extra documentation.</p> 185 186<p><em>Please note this is a small shelter and we are not able to ship pets to new homes.<br> 187<br> 188<img alt="" height="225" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/imagesroot.rescuegroups.org/webpages/s8813nbgpt3dpv3k.jpg" width="225"><img alt="" height="225" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/imagesroot.rescuegroups.org/webpages/s8813nnj5kvll5db.jpg" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" width="225"><img alt="" height="225" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/imagesroot.rescuegroups.org/webpages/s8813nm9aqvfe9kq.jpg" width="225"></em><br> 189 </p> 190 191<hr> 192<h2><br> 193<span style="font-size:24px;">Adoption Fee for Cats & Kittens</span> 194</h2> 195 196<p>Our adoption fee covers the cost of the pet's spay/neuter*.
