Adoption Fees

Welcoming a new pet into your life is exciting, and we want you to feel prepared for what comes next.

When you adopt from the Guelph Humane Society, your new companion goes home with their routine veterinary care up to date. Their adoption fee includes important care such as spaying or neutering, age-appropriate vaccinations, preventative treatments and microchipping, so you won’t need to take on these initial veterinary expenses after adoption.

And our support doesn’t end on adoption day. If you have questions or need advice as your new pet settles in, our team is here to help.
