		<description>I have three surrounding shelters, each are about 10 minutes away in all directions.

Boone County: Dogs: $85, Cats: $50, Snakes: $70
Spay/Neuter
Basic Care
Grooming
Chip

Grant County (VERY bad shelter):  Dogs: $50 , Cats: $35, Snakes: N/A
Basic Care
Grooming
Spay/Neuter

Kenton County: Dogs: $100, Cats: $75, Snakes: $50
Basic Care
Grooming
Behavior Tests
Spay/Neuter
Chip


Our shelters don&#039;t charge for vaccinations because in our surrounding counties, the vaccinations are paid for by the state, so there is no reason to tack the extra money on. Most things that deal with vet visits are paid for by the state, save for heartworm treatments. Vet check up is free when you visit the shelters chosen vet. 

All animals are the same price regardless of age at every shelter. If the dog isn&#039;t spayed or neutered (most puppies aren&#039;t), they require it to be done within 30 days of purchase or they take the dog back. They give you a voucher for it, but its not a lot of money.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve adopted dogs from 2 different shelters, Animals in Distress and Manchester Dogs Home.

Manchester Dogs Home (High-kill shelter):
Adult pedigrees/full breeds is £75 to adopt.
Adult Mixed breeds/Border Collies/Jack Russells are £50 to adopt.

I think puppies are £90 to adopt.

When I adopted Chester, a 3 year old male Border Collie for £50, in the package I got:
Free vet check,
Free full course of vaccinations for Chester,
Free worming for Chester,
Free flea preventative,
6 weeks free insurance for Chester, 
Free Microchip for Chester, 
Free bag of Iams kibble (ew),
And a free collar, leash, ID Tag &amp; Microchip Tag.

When my sister adopted Jonny, a 4 month old GSD x Beagle for £100 from Animals in Distress (No-kill shelter) she got:
A free blanket,
Free collar, leash &amp; Id Tag,
Free bag of kibble,
Free Microchip,
Free vet check,
Free neuter.

BUT, when my sister took Jonny to the vets for his vaccinations, they hadn&#039;t actually microchipped him! Liars.

When my sister went back a year later, Jonnys brother was still there from a year ago, so she adopted him for £70. With Max she got:
Free neuter,
Free collar, leash &amp; ID Tag,
Free bag of food.

When I adopted Kia, a 4 month old APBT from Animals in Distress for £110 I got:
Free spay,
Free vet check,
Free collar, leash &amp; ID Tag.

And that&#039;s it.
Not great shelters really....But at least they&#039;re saving animals lives.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>$50.00

Dogs are UTD on shots except rabies...had to do that myself. Spayed or Neutured and includes county licensing. You also get a certificate for a free vet exam. If you want a microchip it&#039;s an extra $25.00&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Your shelter sounds perfect! When I adopted Holly about 6 years ago, I paid $90. This covered her, and they reimbursed me for her spay.

Of course, this shelters is far from the best. They gave her to me extremely young, and she had no shots. Beyond that, we travelled over an hour to this shelter, and got there five minutes after &quot;adoption time&quot;. They almost wouldn&#039;t let us even see her!&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Ottawa humane society

Puppies (under 6 months) $330.00 
Dogs: $275.00 
Small Breed Dogs (under 15kg) $330.00 
CATS ADOPTION FEE 
Kittens  (under 6 months) $205.00 
Cats $150.00 

For cats and dogs: these costs include a health check, initial deworming and vaccination, and permanent microchip identification. Most cats and dogs adopted from the OHS have already been sterilized.  However, the occasional animal is not suitable for the surgery prior to adoption.  Therefore, it will be the responsibility of the new owner to have the animal sterilized within six months of the adoption, by a veterinarian of the adopter&#039;s choice.  When the sterilization is complete, the refund voucher (found on the adoption contract) and proof of sterilization can be brought to the OHS for an $80 refund. The adoption fee also includes six weeks of pet insurance coverage. All dogs are temperament assessed prior to being placed for adoption.

Add: mine seems to be the most expensive. However i do give them credit..they helped to move a puppmill out of town and now the local pet stores only sell cats and dogs from the humane society.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>We already have the £1M Pet Plan Insurance so it won&#039;t make any difference.
I do think though that, before the Govt start penalising everyone they, they should actually enforce the Dangerous Dogs Act.  A novel idea perhaps for these idiots but the only sane first approach.
What is the point of all this legislation if it is not policed?  If the Dangerous Dogs Act had been correctly enforced it would have saved quite a few lives and serious injury by dangerous dogs owned by feckless owners.
As it is, how many poor dogs are now going to be abandoned, dangerous ones included?&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
