What is the fee for adopting a pet through a Pets for the Elderly shelter?
This will vary depending upon location. Pets for the Elderly underwrites a portion of the adoption cost for dogs and cats at participating shelters. Because our program is located in 58 shelters in 30 different states, adoption fees and policies can vary widely. Please check with the shelter nearest you to determine your cost.
