Don’t have internet access? Use a library computer, ask a friend for help, or call us at 509-525-2452.
Free Microchip (Required)
All animals must be microchipped before or during surgery. If your pet doesn’t have one, we’ll implant a chip during the procedure — at no extra cost.
Microchips help pets get home faster and reduce the burden on our shelter.
Rabies Vaccination
Required by Washington State law for pets over 12 weeks.
If you don’t provide a valid rabies certificate (tags are not accepted), we’ll give your pet a rabies vaccine during surgery for $20.
Dog License (If Applicable)
City and county laws require dogs to be licensed.
You may be required to purchase a license based on your address.
Fees vary and are paid separately at pick-up.
