Adoption Process

Call (573) 883-3665 for adoptions, reclaims, and other general information.

If you are interested in adopting an animal come to the lobby of the Sheriff's Office and inform the secretary or a Deputy.  The secretary or a Deputy will escort you to the kennel where you may view the animals we have for adoption.  If you decide to adopt we will ask you to choose either Dr. Fallert or Dr. White to perform the necessary spay/neuter and administer the shots.  This is done per state law.  You pick up the animal from the vet when it is ready.

The average cost for adoption is around $100.00.  This includes both the vet and kennel fees.  Payment is made to one of the Sheriff's Office secretaries before the animal can be picked up.  The Sheriff's Office will forward the vet fee you have paid to the vet you have chosen.  Fees can vary depending on the size of the animal you adopt.
