Our Adoption Process

Adoption Fees

Adopting a new friend at the Elk County Humane Society is really very simple.  All you have to do is fill out our adoption application for the cat or dog you are interested in.  This can be done right at the shelter or by clicking the "submit an online application" button below!  The application contains some questions to help us get to know you better.  We do require any dog or cat that you currently own be updated on their rabies vaccine, so please be prepared to show us their rabies certificate(s).  If you already own a dog, and the application is approved, we'll schedule a "meet and greet" with your current dog and the shelter dog to ensure everyone gets along.  If the dogs are compatible, then we'll move forward and start the official adoption paperwork!  
Adult Dogs: $180
Puppies Under 1 Year: $220

Adult Cats: $90
Kittens Under 1 Year: $105

All adoption fees include the animal's spay/neuter, updated vaccinations for a year, flea and deworming treatments, FIV or heartworm testing, and a microchip.

*All dog adopters are required by law to purchase a dog license before taking their new best friend home.  Yearly licenses are $8.70 or lifetime licenses are $51.70.
