Please note that we do not do same-day adoptions. Once you have chosen to adopt a particular dog or cat, you will need to go home and make sure this is the right decision for your family. If you are adopting a dog, you will need to arrange to bring your dog (if you already have one) in for a dog meeting. Some of our dogs require multiple meet and greets before you can proceed with adoption.
Once you are sure you have found your perfect furry friend that is a good fit for your lifestyle, you can make an appointment with our Adoption Centre Manager, and she will complete the paperwork with you. Payment will be due at the time of pickup. There is no fee to hold an animal for a short time period, but there is a $50 per week non-refundable hold fee (in addition to the adoption fee) for longer holds.
What is included in the price?
- Microchip
- Spay/Neuter, if not already completed
- Complete set of vaccinations to date including rabies and parasite medication
- Starter Kit (food samples, information on pet history, adoption centre observations)
- LOVE, FOOD, SHELTER, and CARE from the Bow Valley SPCA for the time leading up to your adoption!
Surrender Fee for people wishing to surrender their dog or cat = $200
