Adoption Fees and Information


If you are interested in adopting an animal on our website, please call us at 303-772-1232 for more information or come in during our regular business hours.

Animals may also be placed on “hold”. There is a $30 non-refundable, non-transferrable fee for placing a hold on an animal. The hold fee is used to help care for the animals and does not apply towards your final adoption fees. For PUPPIES UNDER 6 MONTHS, there is also a $30 deposit required in addition to the hold fee. The puppy deposit is also non-refundable and non-transferrable however, it will be applied to the adoption fee for that specific animal. 

All adoption fees are listed in the biographies of each individual animal on our website. View available animals here. In addition to applicable adoption fees, an additional charge of $30 will be applied for a rabies vaccine before adoption. If adopter is a City of Longmont resident, a $15 fee will also be collected for a city pet license. Longmont Humane Society does not accept checks. Cash and Credit Cards (Visa, Mastercard or Discover) are accepted. 

Seniors (ages 55+) adopting senior animals (ages 8+) always receive 50% off their adoption fee!
