Donation Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1VENCFJJ8B4H3?ref_=wl_share The Washington County Animal Shelter works to lower the number of animal nuisance problems in the county and to increase the number of animals return

ed to their homes or adopted into loving homes. We have averaged over 350 spay or neuter surgeries each year through our Low Cost Spay/Neuter Program. We are dedicated to continuing these efforts. Start by asking yourself if you have the time and money to dedicate to a dog or cat? Then consider what kind of pet best suits your personality and living situation. Do you rent, and does your landlord allows pets? Do you have a fenced yard? Do you want an active pet or a couch potato? Once you answer these questions, take a look at the pets available at our shelter online. Once a pet is selected, we require you and the other pets in your home to meet with the dog or cat before making any decisions. How much does adoption cost? Our standard adoption fees are $45 for cats and $65 to $250.00 for dogs. This includes:
Spay or Neuter
Heartworm testing & Preventative
Initial age appropriate vaccines, including rabies if applicable. Flea & Tick Preventative
Microchip implant

What if I need to surrender a pet or have a stray animal on my property? Surrenders are by appointment ONLY. Please call us at (479) 695-3450 to set up an appointment for surrender. For stray animal concerns Animal Control may be reached at (479) 444-5700. WASHINGTON COUNTY SPAY/NEUTER PROGRAM
