Adoption Fees

The fee schedule for adopting an animal from the CVHS is as follows:

Un-neutered Cats and Dogs:   $65 plus a $50 spay/neuter deposit
Neutered Cats and Dogs:   $75
Puppies and Kittens:   $70 plus a $50 spay/neuter deposit
Ferrets:   $50
Rabbits:   $50
Small Animals:   $5 - $10
Exotics and Large Animals:   TBA - To be assessed at time of adoption
Birds:   $10 - $15

Upon adoption you also receive a free vet visit and a low cost spay/neuter certificate for the adopted animal if you live in New Hampshire. Ultimately, for your adoption fee, what you're really getting is a package of love wrapped in a fuzzy overcoat.

The adoption fee we charge is based on covering the cost of the services we have provided for that animal during their stay with us, including the following:

For Dogs:
Distemper Vaccine
Antigen Heartworm Test
Flea Check/Treatment
Ear Check/Treatment
