Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to adopt a Shepherd in Arizona?
Adoption fees in Arizona typically range from $50 to $400. The fee usually covers spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchipping, and a vet check. Some senior dogs and longer-stay residents have reduced fees.
What's the adoption process like?
Most shelters require an application, sometimes a phone interview, and occasionally a home check. The process can take anywhere from same-day to two weeks depending on the rescue. Once approved, you'll meet the dog, sign paperwork, and pay the adoption fee.
Are these dogs already vaccinated?
