Reclaim Your Pet

If your animal is at the shelter and you wish to reclaim them, you can stop by during normal business hours and fill out a Reclaim Agreement. 

Required documents (if the animal's records are not on file)

  • Current copy of the animal's rabies vaccination provided within 10 days
  • Proof of sterility provided within 30 days

Reclaim Fees

  • The base reclaim fee is $20.00 and increases by $10.00 with each additional reclaim within the calendar year.
  • Your animal must be microchipped if it does not already have one.  Microchipping costs $15.00 per animal.
  • If your animal is still intact, you must pay a $25.00 sterility deposit, which will be refunded to you upon providing a copy of the animal's spay/neuter within the required time period.
  • It is mandatory under state law for your animal to be sterilized unless your animal is registered with a nationally or internationally recognized animal registry organization. Upon providing this documentation, you must purchase an Intact Animal Permit for $50.00.

Surrender Fee

  • If you choose not to reclaim your animal, the surrender fee is $25 for a sterilized animal and $50 for an unsterilized animal.
