Pet Adoptions

Thanks to funding approval by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, pet adoption fees have been reduced through the Community Concerns General Fund. These are the current adoption fees, unless a free pet adoption promotion is in effect.

Feline: $10

Canine: $20 (License: $36)

When you adopt a qualifying pet from Big Bear or Devore Animal Shelters, each qualifying adoption includes spaying or neutering, a microchip, and age-appropriate vaccinations. Additionally, all felines and canines are microchipped free of charge, thanks to the generous donations to the Animals aRe First Fund. Our meet-and-greet areas provide the opportunity to interact with our pets and find the perfect match for you and your family.

* Adoption fees are waived for Veterans and for Seniors over the age of 65 for qualifying pets. If you are a Veteran, please bring a valid driver’s license or any type of identification with the word “VETERAN” printed on it.
