Year-Round Adoption Specials
Seniors for Seniors
Adopters age 55, or older, are eligible to adopt senior animals (age 7 or older) for a 50% reduced adoption fee!
Pet Cadets
Active, or retired, military personnel are eligible for 50% reduced adoption fees. This is our way of saying, “Thank you for your service.” Animals play an important role in our lives and we hope that local veterans will find a loving companion animal from our shelter. (Military ID required at the time of adoption)
Barn Cats
Adopt two barn cats and the second fee will be waived! Many of these cats thrive in each other’s company, so you will be helping to save two lives. Apply to adopt a pair of barn cats!
We also host various adoption specials throughout the year. Follow us on social media to see when our next one is.

What’s included in an adoption fee?

- All animals are microchipped and registered to the adopter at the time of adoption.
- Updating your contact information is free with our microchips.
- Alteration Surgery
- Each animal is spayed or neutered before leaving our facility to ensure a healthy life and prevent unwanted litters.
- A Loving Pet

What are your adoption hours?
We are open Monday through Friday from 10am until 4pm. On Wednesdays, we are additionally open from 5pm to 7pm. Our address and current hours are on this page.
What payment methods do you accept?
We take credit cards (preferred), debit cards, and cash to process payments. We are unable to accept checks.
Will you hold a pet for me until I can come see them?
We can not hold animals. Adoptions are on a first-come, first-serve basis. We recommend checking our website often when you’re ready to adopt. Our adoption page is updated in real-time as animals are added and adopted.
Does my application guarantee I’ll get the pet I want?
It’s important to note that an approved application does not guarantee adoption. It simply means that you have been approved to adopt from the RHSPCA. We recommend checking your email for our approval message (or follow up questions) and then scheduling a pet adoption appointment to meet the animal you’re interested in, should they still be available.
Are applications binding?
Approved applications are non-binding, you can change your mind at any time. We’ll also keep your approved application on file for 30 days.
What do I need to bring with me to the shelter?
- Please bring a valid ID so we can process your adoption, in case you find a pet you love. Dogs leaving the building must be on a leash (available to purchase at the shelter). Cats leaving the building must be in a carrier (also available to purchase at the shelter).
- We ask that you please leave your current pets at home. We want to first make sure that it’s a good match between humans and shelter animals. After your initial appointment, we can schedule a time for an introduction with your resident pets at the shelter, if needed.
Can I adopt if I live out of the area?
Yes! We do adopt to out-of-area homes. A meet and greet with the pet is required. Please keep in mind that the shelter has a first come, first serve adoption policy when making your travel plans.
Are there any restrictions?
Adopters may only adopt 2 pets within a 30-day period.
What if I want to adopt an animal in foster care?
Animals with the “foster” badge on their profile are currently in a foster home. If you apply to adopt one of these animals, our team will follow up to schedule a time for you to meet the animal.
