How to Adopt
Adopting a friend
The goal of The SPCA Serving Allegany County is to find good, loving homes for the
animals in its care. The Shelter Manager and her staff would love to assist you in the
selection of a pet.
It is recommended that in order to avoid disappointment, anyone seeking to adopt an
animal seen on this web site should contact the shelter before leaving home to make
certain the animal is still available. You can contact us either by e-mail (spca1@earthlink.net) or by calling the shelter at 585-593-2200.
All dogs and cats are spayed or neutered before they leave the shelter, with the
exception of puppies and kittens, depending on their age.
The adoption fee for a dog is $60.00 which includes the spay or neuter and all required
canine immunizations.
The adoption fee for a cat is $40.00 which includes the spay or neuter, all required
feline immunizations and testing for feline Leukemia and feline AIDS.
In order to comply with New York State Agriculture and Market adoption laws, an
additional deposit of $45.00 is required for puppies and kittens which have not been
spayed or neutered before leaving the shelter. This deposit is refunded upon the Shelter
Manager's receipt of the spay/neuter certification and license if a dog was adopted.
To start the adoption process, please fill out an Adoption Application at the shelter or download the form and submit it to the shelter by either dropping it off or faxing it to 585-593-2200 or e-mail it to SPCA1@earthlink.net
