Adoption Process
A large variety of dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals are available for adoption from our shelter. By adopting from the HSGC, you are not only supporting your local shelter, you are receiving your new pet at a low cost with many extras as described below. The same pet off the street would cost you over $200 in initial veterinary fees alone!
Adoption Fees
- Dogs: start at $125
- Puppies: start at $150
- Cats: $75
- Kittens: $100
If an animal is not already spayed/neutered, the adoption fee includes a $50 deposit that goes toward the spay/neuter of that animal.
Adoption Fees Include:
- First round of temporary vaccinations

- First application of heartworm/flea protection, heartworm testing on dogs and puppies over the ages of 6 months
- Feline Leukemia testing on cats and kittens
- Adoption packet including valuable coupons, sample packs of food, training video and other helpful items
- Reduced spay/neuter costs are available thanks to your local participating veterinarians. Also, senior citizens may adopt qualified pets at no cost through our Golden Friendship program.
