How to adopt an Animal

All pets from the Wakulla Animal Shelter are listed on Petfinder.  Go to http://www.petfinder.org.  Use the quick search on the left side of the screen. 

The Wakulla Animal Shelter and CHAT requests adoptive families to complete a questionnaire that inquires about your living conditions, whether you rent or own a home,  how many other pets you have, who is your vet, etc.  We also want to know whether you object to a visit from us at your home.  Dogs over 75 lbs must have a fenced in yard.  Chaining your dog is out of the question. Prospective owners must be 18 years old. They must understand the local leash law (Ordinance No. 95-29).  Shelter animals have an unknown medical history and you must agree to a check-up by a Veterinarian within five working days.  Adoption fees are $75 and cover rabies shots and spay/neuter costs.  Animals up for adoption must be at least 8 weeks old. Puppies and kittens will receive their first shot and a worming at the shelter before leaving the facility.

The Wakulla Animal Shelter will chip your dog or cat (Avid Chip) for identification purposes in case your animal ever gets lost.  The price for chipping is $20 for non-members and $10 for CHAT members.
Chipping can only be done by the shelter when an animal gets adopted from there. The general Public has to use their local vet.
