Adoption Fee Increase

After much analysis and internal debate, as well as a glance at the Humane Society's dwindling bank account, the Board has reluctantly agreed that we need to recover at least 80% of our basic medical costs in order to stay in business.

Since we are the only "game in town" for all of Modoc County, we need to do what we can to stay afloat, and we hope the community will support us in this.  Otherwise, the High Plateau Humane Society may not be around for another year.

You will note, there is no change in the Adult Cat adoption fee, and we have added discounts for adopting more than one pet.  We also have instituted a "Seniors for Seniors" program to help get our more senior animals (those 5 years or older) out into loving homes at a greatly reduced fee.

So, our adoption fees are now as follows:

CAT ADOPTION FEES*

•  Kittens (under 4 months old)      $90     or  2 for $160 ($80 each)
• Young Cats (4 mo. to 2 years)     $80     or  2 for $140 ($70 each)
• Adult Cats (2 years or older)       $60     or   2 for  $100 ($50 each)
• Seniors for Seniors (for Seniors 55 years and older)
• Adopt a cat 5 years old or older
• Receive a 50% discount on his/her adoption fee

* All cats and kittens are up-to-date on shots, and spayed or neutered.

DOG ADOPTION FEES*

•  Puppies (under 4 months old)      $200     or  2 for  $360 ($180 each)
• Young Dogs (4 mo. to 2 years)     $160     or  2 for  $280  ($140 each)
• Adult Dogs (2 years or older)       $120     or  2 for  $200 ($100 each)
• Seniors for Seniors (for Seniors 55 years and older)
• Adopt a dog 5 years old or older
• Receive a 50% discount on his/her adoption fee

* All dogs and puppies are up to date on shots and micro-chipped.  Our fees also cover spay and neuter.  All dogs over 4 months old are spayed or neutered before they go home with you, and all puppies are placed on a foster-to-adopt contract (so you can take them home) that is turned into a formal adoption contract after they are spayed or neutered at 4 months old.
