Adoption:
If you’re looking for a pet to join your family, look no further
than the Rainbow District Animal Control & Shelter Services. A
shelter for many dogs and cats who need homes. Come down and visit
some potential pets.
Adopting a dog
or cat is fun and a joy, but it’s a responsibility too. Your
intention of adopting a pet should be to provide a home for it all
of its life.
When you take
home a pet, here are a few things you should remember:
- The dog/cat
must wear a valid licence at all times.
- The dog/cat must be treated humanely and be cared for at all times.
- The dog/cat must be treated as a house pet and member of the family;
it should not be chained, tied or confined to a pen, run, or other
enclosure all the time.
- The dog/cat must never be released for medical or veterinary experimentation,
or permitted to be used for breeding purposes.
- You will ensure that the dog/cat receives annual vaccines and any
other veterinary attention that it requires. You must be prepared
to deal with these financial obligations.
- You will allow Rainbow District Animal Control & Shelter Services
to follow up for the purpose of ensuring that the terms and conditions
of this agreement have been upheld. If you fail to meet the terms
of this agreement, Rainbow District Animal Control & Shelter Services
may take custody of the dog/cat.
Returns:
We understand
that it may not always work out. We will always accept our animals
back, however keep in mind:
- Adoption fees
are only refundable for 72 hours.*
* If the animal
was spayed or neutered on your request, these costs are not refundable!
- We will take
in any animal adopted either from the shelter or from Friends
of Shelter Pets for no additional fee for 30 days after the adoption.
After 30 day we will ask that you pay a surrender fee:

- The Rainbow
District Animal Control & Shelter Services accepts no responsibility
for the present or future condition of the animal, or any actions
of the animal while in your care. We will not reimburse adopters for
any expenses occurred while the animal was in your care.
Fees
The adoption
fee range from $70.00 to $375.00 This fee may be increased to off-set
costs the shelter has incurred during the dog's stay.
The adoption
fee generally covers the cost of the dog being spayed or neutered,
first set of shots, microchip, and other veterinary costs as required.
Some pets are too young to spay and neuter and are adopted under the
condition that the new owner will have this done to the pet at a later
date. If you are a resident of Greater Sudbury or the Town of Espanola,
Townships of Baldwin (McKerrow), Sables-Spanish Rivers (Massey, Walford,
Webbwood) Shedden (Spanish) & Town of Northeastern Manitoulin
and the Islands (Little Current & Sheguiadah), Nairn Hyman, you
will also be required to purchase a current year license.
