As of January 1, 2009 the adoption fee for cats/kitten is $40.00 and $80.00-$130.00 for dogs/puppies with the new policy of reducing the fee by 50% if the pet is at the shelter more than 60 days and a final adoption reduction to $10.00 if the pet is housed more than 90 days.

Low Income Family – Two Pet Spay,Neuter and Vaccination Programs
Are Available

1. In 2006, the Ponca City Humane Society partnered with our local participating veterinarians and started a low cost spay/neuter and vaccination program for families making $45,000/year or less. This successful program is made possible due to the commitment of reducing pet overpopulation and the kind and generous donations of PCHuS supporters and our wonderful veterinarians. More information may obtained by visiting or calling the PCHuS shelter.
    

2. In addition, the state through the Oklahoma Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA) and participating veterinarians fund a spay/neuter program for low income families.
