IMPORTANT NOTICE: In order to lessen the burden on taxpayers, WCAS has an established price list for animal surrenders, owner reclaims and adoptions.  These fees cover some of the expenses (deworming, heartworm test, flea treatment) incurred while caring for companion pets, and in many cases can be avoided through responsible pet ownership.

  • Adoption – $50   (dogs & cats)
  • Adoption – $75 (puppies & kittens)
  • Adoption – $25 (other animals)
  • Microchipping – $10
  • Owner surrenders – $25
  • Owner reclaim – $25 (for first impoundment)
  • Boarding – $10 (per day)
  • Bite quarantine boarding – $15 (per day; additional feeds may apply if other services are offered, such as spay/neuter or vet bills if the animal was injured)

  • Defender Discount – $35 off adoptions for Active Duty Military, Veterans and First Responders
  • Golden Years Savings – $35 off adoptions for seniors

NOTE: Additional fees may apply based on cost of care. Ask prior to receiving services.
