St. Maries, ID

We ask various questions like what are you looking for in an animal, do you rent or own your own home. If you rent we need a letter from you landlord saying it is ok for you to get a dog or a cat. We have an application that we will have you fill out if you are coming to adopt a dog or a cat. We ask if they have any other animals so we know what ones would be the best fit for them. Adoption fees include a health screening, neuter/spay, vaccinations, de-worming, microchip (dogs only), and other medications as needed. Our fees are lower than other animal shelters in the surrounding areas. Our goal is to find great homes and great matches for our animals and the families adopting. Our adoption fees are $65 for kittens or a cat. $150 for a puppy or a dog. Our requirements are you must be 18 or older to adopt, show ID. If they have a dog and are looking to get another dog we ask them to bring their dog to do a meet and greet so we know that the dogs will get along. Then they do sign a contract that says they are going to provide for them food, water and shelter. Taking them to the vet if they need it.
