In response to the rising cost of animal care, please note that effective June 1st, 2024 – there will be a change to our adoption fees.
Bide Awhile is a not-for-profit organization and adoption fees are used to cover the animal care and vet expenses such as a spay/neuter, microchipping, and vaccines.
Many animals that come into our care incur vet expenses that go beyond the adoption fee. The average cost to our shelter per companion adopted in 2023 was $1,250.
Adjusted Adoption Fees are as follows:
Kitten (1 Year & Under): $350
Adult Cat: $250
Senior Cat (10 Years & Older): $200
Puppy (1 Year & Under): $700
Adult Dog: $500
Senior Small Breed Dog (10 Years & Older): $350
Senior Large Breed Dog (7-8 Years & Older): $350
