All in-house dog adoptions are only $99 and include license, micro-chip, spay/neuter, basic shots, food and pet health insurance.

One such dog that was picked up without a license and is now up for adoption is Oakley.
While Animal Services typically only euthanizes aggressive or terminally ill dogs, the reality is that cages must be kept open for inbound stray dogs.
Thanks to continuing public support for dog sales and increased awareness about responsible pet ownership, only 92 dogs had to be euthanized at Animal Services in 2011 compared to 359 in 2008.
