Does the humane society make money from pet adoptions?
Our adoption fees are designed to cover only the vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery and other care the pets receive while at the humane society. Some of the cats or dogs end up costing much more to care for than is covered in the adoption fee, while others may cost a bit less. As a non-profit organization, the humane society is concerned with finding homes for unwanted animals while at the same time providing the necessary care to keep them healthy and ensure that they do not produce offspring.
