How do I adopt a pet from a shelter and what are the fees?

Question

Would love to know what is the process for adoption and fees?

Christie Long, DVM · Accepted Answer

In a very general sense, most shelters or rescues will let you visit and get to know animals you are interested in. Some require that you fill out an application to be considered for pet ownership, and others simply require that you pay a small adoption fee to take the animal of your choice home. I'd recommend visiting several shelters in your area, or find rescues for specific breeds you are looking for by using search engines.
