Adoption fees help Humane Animal Partners cover the cost of caring for our adoptable animals and can vary based on an animal’s age, breed, or even time spent at the shelter. Below is an overview of how our average adoption fees are structured. Please inquire with a HAP adoption counselor to confirm the fee related to a specific animal.
Every animal adopted from Humane Animal Partners has received the following:
- Spay or neuter surgery
- Comprehensive wellness exam
- Age-appropriate vaccinations
- Microchip for lifelong identification
- De-worming and flea preventative
- Heartworm test and preventative for dogs
- Voucher for a free follow-up wellness exam at select area hospitals post-adoption
 All of the above can cost $550 or more… which makes adoption a great option!
