Adopt A Dog or Puppy
Adopt A Dog for No Fee
The Front Street Animal Shelter is waiving all dog adoption fees through Sunday, May 17.
Our kennels are at critical capacity, and it's so hard to see how many fantastic dogs are just waiting for a family to give them a chance.
Available dogs with adoption fees already paid for
The adoption fee for the dogs shown below have been paid for with donations from community members. If you would like to know more about one of these dogs, please click on the dog's photo to view the online profile.

Adoption fees for adult dogs and puppies
- Adult dog (over 6 months old) - $25* (regular price: $100)
- Puppy (under 6 months old) - $150*
* Adult dogs and puppies in high demand may have higher adoption fees. Charging higher fees for those in high demand helps fund animals with special needs and allows us to offer lower fees for animals who struggle to get adopted. An adoption counselor will let you know if a special adoption fee applies.
What's included with every adult dog and puppy adoption
- Spay or neuter surgery*
- Microchip (with registration)
- Bordetella and DHPP vaccinations
- Rabies vaccination
- Flea preventative
- Deworming preventative
- 1-year dog license (city residents only)
- Free health exam voucher
- Dog collar and leash
* Some dogs may not be spayed/neutered at the time of the meet-and-greet/adoption and will need to stay at the shelter until their surgery appointment.
Adoption fees waived for military veterans
Adoption fees are waived for any person who presents a current and valid driver's license or identification card with VETERAN printed on it. Each military veteran is allowed one (1) dog or puppy adoption every 6 months.
