Microchipping
$20.00 (optional service, discounted when adopting)

We offer a discount if you microchip your pet when you are adopting it from us. If you wait and decide to have us microchip it at a later date, it will cost you $25. Microchipping is a great way to help your pet find its way back to you if it should ever wander away or bolt when frightened.

*Many of our pets have spay/neuter sponsors. This money is donated that goes towards the animals spay or neuter. Spay/neuter deposits are non-refundable.
