Adoption Information:
- Dog adoption fee: $150 (cash or check only)
- Cat adoption fee: $120 (cash or check only)
- All dogs and cats come microchipped. Those over 4 months old will be spayed/neutered and vaccinated for rabies prior to adoption. We will coordinate with you for any pets adopted before turning 4 months old to come back to the shelter to get spayed/neutered and receive their rabies vaccine free of charge after turning 4 months old.
- All adoptions are first come, first served at the shelter. If these hours do not work for you please contact us.
- We do our best to keep Petfinder up to date, but we cannot guarantee this animal is currently available due to paperwork/software processing delays. Feel free to contact us to ask if a specific animal is still adoptable! We do not check inquiries/messages on PetFinder. There is no pre-adoption application or paperwork, everything is done at the shelter at the time of adoption - just bring an open heart, cash or check to pay, and transportation items (leash, crate/carrier, etc).
For questions, the best way to contact us is by phone at (318) 251-8685. You can also message us through Facebook @rustonanimalcontrol
