Adoption Information and Fees

Thinking about adding a furry family member into your life?

For more information about Responsible Adoption visit: Are You Ready to Adopt a Pet

To adopt an animal, an adoption application must be completed. The adopter will be given a copy of the application for their records, a copy of the pet’s health records, and rabies tag. All dogs have been heartworm tested, spayed or neutered, rabies shot and given a kennel cough and DHLPP injections. All cats have been Feline Lukemia tested, spayed or neutered and rabies shot.

Adoptions Fees

• Cats: $40
• Dogs: Mix Breeds $80 and Pure Breeds $130
• Kittens/Puppies: A spay/neuter deposit is required in the amount of $50. Once the animal is old enough for the procedure PCHuS will make an appointment with one of our local veterinarians. After the procedure is completed, the pet owner brings the paperwork to the shelter and deposit is refunded.

Success Stories

Maya

Maya was adopted a year a go after having an extended stay at the shelter. Our volunteers Herb and Margareta Rains drove her to the Oklahoma City Airport to meet her adoptive family. She now resides in Chicago. The following is an update from her new family.

Just checking in to let you know it is Mitten-Maya’s one-year anniversary of leaving OK and coming to Chicago. She is doing really well. She is quite a character and a very happy & loving dog. She has finally gained some weight and has filled out nicely. She loves to run and is as fast as a greyhound. To date, there hasn’t been another dog that has beat her in running. She loves to jump into puddles and get soaking wet. She loves digging holes in the yard. She is all about playing and playing some more. She loves to cuddle and sleeps in the bed with me. She also sits on the top of the loveseat and looks out the window to see what is happening outside. She is getting better with time. Thanks!

Yogi

Yogi, a one-year-old Lab Mix, arrived at the shelter February 23, 2011. He was only six months when he arrived full of energy and just a playful puppy. Yogi did not realize his strength and how he over powered people with his size. When taken for a walk, he pulled so hard that the person walking him was in a full sprint to keep up. Because of his high energy and strength, many people passed him by because they felt as though they could not handle him.

Our volunteer Herb Rains took a great interest in Yogi and was very concerned that he was not being adopted. He contacted his friend Trudy Goins who had just recently lost a pet and encouraged her to come by and take a look at Yogi. She was very willing and her only concern was if he would get along with their dog. She came by to see Yogi on August 10th and immediately said, “We’ll take him”! You see, Yogi looked almost identical to the dog she has just lost, with the same personality and energy. She decided that she would come back the next day with her husband and their dog so that they could be introduced and to see if they would get along. The staff was very excited and hopeful that the union would go well so that Yogi could go home. He had been at the shelter six month and really needed to go home.

They arrived the next day with their dog who is a Pit-bull Mix. Her husband went out back to the field behind the parking lot with their dog and Trudy came in to get Yogi. The dogs met for the first time face to face, her dog walked up and licked Yogi on the face and Yogi returned the jester. The Goins were very excited and came back inside to complete the adoption application to take Yogi home.

It appears that the union was truly meant to be because Yogi’s new friends name is Bear!
