Adoptions Policy

Adoption Price:  $100.00
Reclaim Fee: $35

All dogs and cats must be sterilized with 30 days of reaching sexual maturity (180 days/6 months old).

Dogs and cats three months of age and older adopted must be taken to veterinarian for rabies vaccination.

Dogs and cats adopted at the shelter may not have had prior veterinarian care so it is highly recommended to have them checked by a veterinarian before introducing them to other pets.

Sick Animal Policy

The animals at this shelter have not been examined by a veterinarian and there is a possibility that they have an illness or have been exposed to an illness that has not been detected before adoption or owner reclaim. You, as the Adopter or owner of such an animal have the right to return the animal within 10 days with a statement from a veterinarian stating that the animal is sick. Upon receipt of statement, you may exchange the animal for another animal of your choice. The shelter is not responsible for and will not pay any medical cost to the adopter (no exceptions). We cannot guarantee the health or temperament of the animal(s) and Screven County Animal Control is therefore not responsible for any liability from actions or health of the adopted or reclaimed pets.
