  Think you are ready to adopt a new pet? It's easy to fall in love but please don't adopt on a whim! Raising a pet is a lifetime commitment that takes a considerable amount of time and money. In fact, many of the animals we see at the shelter are there by no fault of their own, but because of changes at the pet's former home such as divorce, downsizing or because the family didn't realize the expense and energy that went into raising a pet. Please take the time to look at Our Available Animals and do some research on what type of pet will be best for you before filling out our Adoption Application. Adoption Requirements It is the goal of the SJBHS to find a good match for all of our adoptable animals. In that effort, we screen every home before we approve an adoption. In general, SJBHS uses the following guidelines when determining the status of an applicant for adoption, with the understanding that if there is a questionable application, the Executive Director will make the final decision on adoption and may choose to approve applications that fall outside of these general guidelines. In general, SJBHS does NOT adopt to:
Fees Several veterinary clinics honor St. Joseph Bay Humane Society spay and neuter certificates. The current list is shown below. Adoption fees includes shots, rabies, worming and spay/ neuter costs. (Call for current cost.) If the animal is not yet old enough to be spayed/neutered, a deposit will be required until the procedure is done. Veterinary services are rising in prices. It’s always recommended that the veterinary clinic be called first to get a complete understanding of possible charges.Albert Byas, DVM, Agape Animal Hospital, Wewahitchka, FL- 639-3005 Nikki Korda, DVM & Jeff Palgut, DVM, Callaway Animal Hospital, Callaway, FL 32404 – 763-4611 Linda Laroux, DVM, Cedar Grove Animal Hospital, Cedar Grove, FL 32405 – 913-9117 Steven Collier, DVM, Parkway Animal Hospital, Callaway, FL 32404 – 763-8387 Garry E.
