Please consider adopting one of the unwanted animals at the Grant County Shelter as your next pet to love and take care of.
Animals available for adoption are weaned, appear to be healthy and of good stable temperament (ie., have not bitten, are not too aggressive or shy, etc.). They have been surrendered by their owners or relinquished as strays. Animals become adoptable after the 5 day holding period for Canines, and 3 days for Felines.
All adoptions are 'as is' and should be considered as such.
Adoptions come with a Free Wellness Exam from participating Veterinarians, basic shots, spay/neuter voucher, rabies voucher and 2 bags of food. No animals available for adoption have had tests for any type of medical conditions and are not seen by Veterinarians to be assessed.
