We have a 5 day stray hold policy and after that time, animals are available for adoption or rescue. We scan all animals who come into the shelter for a microchip and will make contact with the registered owner associated with the microchip. Be sure to keep your contact information updated with the microchip company. If you are missing a pet, always come in to the shelter immediately to check if s
he/he is here. If the pet isn't microchipped or your contact information isn't correct, then your pet is sitting here waiting for you to come look for him/her. Our goal is always to find the best fit for our animals. All applications are reviewed and verified by our Board of Directors; application information and interaction between the animals and the potential adopters are part of the decision making process. Adoption decisions are not based on who sees the animal first or who places the first application. Therefore, there isn't a benefit to putting in an application before you have physically come to the shelter to meet the animal you are interested in adopting. Visiting and spending time with our shelter pets is the very first step in the adoption process. It is very unlikely, certainly not typical for us to make a same day adoption. Adoption fees for dogs are $95 unless the dog is sponsored, then the adoption fee is $50. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm testing and microchip. Adoption Applications & Adoption Agreements are available at the shelter and they can be downloaded at our website: https://simpsoncokyanimalshelter.org/
