Adoption fees do not cover the total cost of caring for animals.
One of our main goals at FCHS is to provide safe refuge and necessary medical treatment (including spay/neuter surgery) to all animals in our care — not to turn a profit. Adoption fees help offset these costs, covering less than half of the cost.
Adoption fees are set on a variable fee schedule that considers the animal’s age, breed, and size. Some animals are less common and therefore have increased demand. These animals are assigned higher fees, which ensures we have the funds to provide for other animals in our care who may have special needs or a more difficult time finding a new home.
How to Adopt from FCHS
- We require an ADOPTION APPLICATION be submitted to adopt any of our animals. Once approved, we will schedule an appointment for you to meet your selected animal(s).
See our Animals Available for Adoption!
- Please note… Our dogs REQUIRE an approved application to meet you. Our kennel is CLOSED to the public to keep stress down.
