Adoption Process:
Find a great match at SICSA or online
Fill out adoption questionnaire online or in person at SICSA
Take an opportunity to meet with an adoption counselor trained to help make the best match for the adopter and the pet. SICSA’s Meet Your Match® program evaluates the animal’s behavior and interests and matches them to an adopter’s preferences so that you take home a pet that is perfect for you.
Complete the adoption once you and our counselors agree that you've found a great match.Introduce all members of the household (including other dogs) to ensure that the your pet is compatible with everyone. Plan on at least 30 minutes minimum to take your new pet home.
To schedule an appointment with an adoption counselor call 294-6505 extension 11 or email adoption@sicsa.org
Adoption Fees:
The adoption fees vary, depending on the breed and level of training of the animals. Fees are posted on the kennel cards and include spay/neuter, micro-chip identification, preventative medicines, vaccines, collar & leash, and other veterinary treatment as needed. Montgomery County dog license is included.
Here is a general guideline of fees:
| Cats 6 months and older | $75 |
| Kittens under 6 months | $100 |
| Dogs 5 months and older | $145 |
| Puppies under 5 months | $195 |
Purebred and trained pets add an additional $50 - $250.
This variable pricing allows us to save more animals by pricing purebred and trained pets closer to market value. About 30% of our animals are purebred.
