Adoption fees are always waived for U.S. military Veterans. \n\n\n\nSelect animals have their adoption fees sponsored by generous admirers. Interested in sponsoring a shelter animal?

Joybound is grateful for your decision to adopt\, as it embodies our mission to give shelter animals a second chance at happiness. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdoption Fees\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCats: $50 – $200\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDogs: $50 – $400\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeline adoptions are 2 for 1 when completed on the same day. Adult dog and cat adoption fees are waived every Saturday in August as part of Clear the Shelters. Adoption fees are always waived for U.S. military Veterans. \n\n\n\nSelect animals have their adoption fees sponsored by generous admirers. Interested in sponsoring a shelter animal? Your tax-deductible donation can cover the adoption fee of a shelter pet and give a family an extra incentive to adopt them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSPONSOR AN ADOPTION FEE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Included?\n\n\n\nAll animals are spayed or neutered\, current on vaccinations\, microchipped\, de-wormed\, and given flea/tick preventative. Animals are sent home with a welcome home supply of Purina food.
