Allen County Animal Rescue Facility

The mission of Allen County Animal Rescue Facility is to provide a safe and care-giving environment where animals can reside and eventually become adoptable.

After an application has been submitted, potential adoptees must allow 24 hours for home and reference checks. Adoptees must sign a Pet Adoption Agreement, which states that they will provide their pet with proper and adequate food, water, housing, exercise, medical care, and humane treatment. Furthermore, the agreement states that the adoptee will obey local licensing and animal confinement laws, that they will keep the pet as a companion animal only and not for any other purpose, and that they will not sell, give away, or use the animal for experimental purposes, allow it to engage in dog fighting, or train it (or have it trained) to attack other persons or animals. All adopted pets who are of sufficient age must be spayed or neutered before leaving the shelter. The cost to adopt is $49 for cats and $99 for dogs; this includes vaccinations as well as spaying or neutering.
