Adoption Info & Forms

Our adoption process is focused on the welfare of the animals. It includes an application, personal and vet reference check, and a brief interview. Our goal is to do what is in the best interest of each animal in our care. The adoption fees are $200.00 for dogs; $250.00 for puppies six (6) months and younger and $100.00 for cats and kittens. A fee may be reduced if an applicant is approved to adopt more than one adult pet at the same time.

In an effort to place senior dogs and cats into loving homes, our placement fee for a senior large/medium dog over seven (7) years or a senior small dog over ten (10) years is only $120  and for a senior cat over seven (7) years only $80. Our cats are adopted to indoor homes only.

In order to adopt from our facility, all of your past/present pets (cats and dogs) must be/have been up to date on vaccines.

Please take time to look over our available pets. You can see their pictures and learn a bit about them. All our rescued animals are examined by veterinarians who work with us, administering the necessary tests and shots to assure that the animals are healthy. Our animals receive vaccinations, de-worming, micro-chipping and other, often costly, medical attention in an effort to restore them to health and prepare them for adoption. As required by Michigan law, all animals are spayed or neutered. Consequently, our veterinary bills are our biggest single category of expenses. We are able to recover only a portion of our total cost through adoption fees.
