Make Adoption Your First Option!
If you wish to adopt one of our shelter friends, you will be asked to fill out an adoption application and provide vet references. All cats and dogs leaving the shelter must be spayed or neutered before going home with you.
We request a donation of $270 for dogs, $300 for puppies or purebred dogs and $125 for cats and kittens (purebreds $200). This helps cover the cost of feeding, spaying or neutering, de-worming, testing and vaccinating your new pet. All dogs are microchipped.
Also, check with the shelter daily as animal registry changes frequently. Once your application has been approved please allow up to 1 hour for the adoption process.
If you currently have a dog at home and are looking to adopt a canine friend, a staff supervised introduction will take place between your dog and the adoptable dog. A proper introduction can is important when 2 or more dogs meet for the first time.
Humane Society of Walden's FIV+ and FeLV+ cats
Our FIV+ and FeLV+ cats are all healthy and beautiful and are some of the most loving, affectionate cats we have ever met – but most of them have been waiting a long time to be adopted, just because people who don’t know any better are afraid of the virus they carry. Please consider adopting one of these wonderful cats! If you meet them, you will fall in love!
All fees are waived to approved adopters.

Constance is a talkative ball of personality. She has allot to say and is all sass! She has attitude and isnât afraid to show it. She shows a likeliness to people and has even cuddled , but she does have a temper that we think is mostly fueled by her dislike of the sight of other cats nearby.

Riley is an independent cat in our FIV room. He will let you pet him but seems scared of a humans touch. He enjoys cuddling with the other cats in a comfy bed. He gets along with our other fiv cats quite well. He has a cute Elvis smirk and would be a cute addition to your home.

Puck is a 9-10month old Spaniel/Pom Mix. Heâs for sure a big dog in a little body! He is full of personality and loves to play! He is great at playing fetch and catching toys mid air! He prefers toys that squeak but will make any toy work.
Puck is doing well with basic commands and house breaking, but will require patience and continued training as he is just a pup and didnât start off his life in the best situation.
