Thank you for your interest in adopting a pet from the Hancock County Animal Shelter!

Our adoption fee for Cats and Kittens are between $60 and $100. Dogs and Puppies are between $130.00 - $200.00 depending on the sex and size of pet when full grown.

Of the fees paid to the shelter upon adoption, only $20 to $40 actually goes to the shelter. The rest of the cost of adopting a pet from our shelter goes to cover the cost of the veterinary care provided to your new pet.

The Hancock County Animal Shelter Foundation recommends taking your new pet to a veterinarian within the first 7 to 10 days of ownership.
