It depends on the shelter. I have adopted 3 times from three different agencies. It varied from $50-$90. The most require that you pay for the spay or neutering of the animal before you can adopt. Others also require a fee or donation to help keep the adoption center up and running. The best way to find out is to call and ask. After paying the adoption fees, remember there will still be other cost involved. You will need food and supplies for your new friend as well.

It depends on the shelter, and sometimes, the dog's situation. Generally anywhere from $25-100....typically towards the low end of that. Check out petfinder.com or find some shelter websites. Most shelters now have listings or at least adoption info on the web. Please remember that there are many additional costs above and beyond the cost of the dog...food, collar, leash, dishes, training, vet, etc.

It really matters on where you live. But in Florida you can adopt a dog from an animal shelter around 50 dollars

Somewhere around $100. You have to take into consideration that this includes spaying or neutering too! It also usually depends if you are a resident of the city or the county where the shelter is located. Some charge more if you are "out of area".

At the Houston Spca I belive its 75 for Dogs and 65 for Cats. I believe all shelters are around that price range.

We adopted our dog at a shelter for a $50 dollar donation.

I just adopted a dog from the Kankakee County Humane Society (Illinois) -- she came spayed, current on all of her shots and tests, and on Interceptor and Frontline and dewormed. The adoption fee was $90.

It varies by city. In Chicago the Anti-Cruelty Society adoption fee is $55 and you get a neuter and shots with that along with some other fun stuff for your new friend.

It varies. Sometimes they are so desperate for a home,the dogs are free. Call up your local pound first, because those dogs are more in danger of getting put down. Call today, so you get first choice!
