View Our Adoptable Pet List at Petfinder.com to see LCHS foster pets available for adoption, and or “See Our Adoptable Pets” at the link on our Facebook page.  We also post lost and found animals and do courtesy posts on Facebook for animals NOT in LCHS care.

For LCHS foster pets, please email LCHS to begin the application / adoption process.  Please provide your name, address, email address, and phone number, in addition to the name or description of the animal you are interested in adopting. You may also download the Adoption Application, complete, and return attached to an e-mail or by postal mail.  A volunteer will contact you regarding your interest.

Standard adoption fee for cats is $90.  Standard adoption fee is $125 for dogs.  These fees help to pay for the veterinary care that every pet gets with LCHS, and allows us to help other pets in the future.  We don’t make money on adoptions – far from it.  Average cost to LCHS for a pet we intake is around $240.  It’s less if the pet is already sterilized, vaccinated and microchipped – and considerably more if the pet has not been cared for properly in the past, or if they’re ill or injured.

We’re required to collect a spay/neuter bond for pets adopted before they are sterilized.  The only reason a pet would not be sterilized before adoption is if they are too young and small, or if our veterinarian recommends that the procedure be delayed due to other health issues.  That bond is $50 for cats, $100 for dogs.  The bond is refunded upon proof of sterilization, which must be done within 6 months, or the bond is forfeited.

Foster Homes

Until LCHS has our own shelter, we can only save animals when we have foster homes available.  To become a foster home the LCHS Foster Chair will visit to help you determine what animals may best fit your home, lifestyle and preference.  LCHS secures the state license for each foster home.  If you have space in your home, and time in your life to provide a temporary safe loving home for an animal who needs you, please email LCHS with your name, address, phone number, and email address, and tell us what sort of animals you’d be interested in fostering.
