All adopted animals must be spayed or neutered.
Before adopting a pet it is often a good idea to consider the cost of pet care beyond the initial adoption fee. The latest figures from the ASPCA indicate the total first year cost for a dog ranges from $810.00 - $1580.00 (depending on the size of the dog), while a cat averages $715.00.
