Georgetown animal shelter adoption hours, fees and process
WCRAS lists public hours as 12 PM to 6 PM daily, excluding some holidays. The shelter’s adoption page says regular adoption fees are $75 and that the fee covers basic vaccines, spay/neuter surgery, heartworm screening, and a microchip. The shelter also says adopters must be 18 or older, have a valid ID, complete an adoption questionnaire, and that animals cannot be held.
Check dogs, cats, other animals, and community pets. Remember that community pets are not physically at the shelter, so you must contact the rehoming family shown on the listing.
Look for location, age, size, temperament notes, medical notes, and whether the pet is at the Main Campus or Red Poppy Adoptique.
Expect to discuss your home, other pets, children, schedule, landlord rules, and what type of pet you can realistically manage.
WCRAS promotes helping adopters make a good match, so be honest about activity level, training needs, and first-time pet-owner limits.
Ask whether the current fee is regular, discounted, or part of an adoption special. Offsite locations may vary.
| Adoption item | Official detail | What to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Regular adoption fee | $75 | Ask whether the pet is part of a current special or event. |
| Included care | Basic vaccines, spay/neuter, heartworm screening, microchip | Ask which records you receive before leaving. |
| Minimum adopter age | 18 years or older | Bring a valid ID. |
| Hold policy | Animals cannot be held | Do not assume a pet will still be available later. |
| Adoption questionnaire | Required | Answer honestly so staff can help you match well. |
