Spay/Neuter Policy

Our goal is to have every animal spayed or neutered prior to being adopted. However, that is not always possible and/or in the best interest of the animal. Alternative options to this policy are listed below and are determined by the shelter director on a case by case basis depending on the needs and best interest of the animal (s) in question.
In some situations a certificate may be issued for a free spay/neuter at a participating veterinary hospital or clinic.

All adoptions include spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations while in the shelter, de-worming, a free vet exam, and a 4lb bag of Science Diet food And you receive a loving pet for years to come.

Application Process

Incomplete applications will be processed last. All questions must be answered. If a question does not apply to your situation answer with N/A.
All applications are considered; however, final approval will be based on the best interest of the animal in question.
An approved application does not guarantee the adoption of the animal applied for. Animal Rescue Federation reserves the right to refuse adoption to anyone.
There is a 24 hour processing period on all adoption applications. Our ability to contact veterinarians and references and collect other relevant information may slow down this process.
Applicants must be 21 years of age or older. A current picture identification card is required for all adoptions.
We accept cash or personal checks only. We are unable to make change at the shelter for cash payments.
The fastest way to have your application processed is to bring it directly to the shelter. That will allow our staff to look it over and ask questions of needed.
