How to Adopt a Pet From Davis County Animal Care
Animal Care of Davis County says it has dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, rabbits, birds and other small animals available for adoption. The official adoptable pets page is the correct starting point because third-party listings, social media posts and screenshots can become outdated quickly.
Some animal listings may show that the animal’s location is subject to change and that users should call ahead to check the current location. That one sentence is important. A pet may be at the shelter, in foster, part of a courtesy rehoming listing, moved for care, or no longer available by the time a visitor arrives.
Search official adoptable pets first
Start with the Davis County adoptable pets page. Save the animal name, species, breed description, age, location note and any listing details before calling or visiting.
Call ahead if location matters
If the listing says location is subject to change, call 801-444-2200 before driving. This is especially important for foster pets, popular dogs, young animals or animals listed from a courtesy rehoming route.
Plan around kennel hours
Public hours do not always mean kennel viewing is available. Avoid the 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. kennel closure and arrive early enough to meet the pet and ask questions.
Ask fit questions before choosing
Ask about temperament, energy level, medical notes, vaccine records, spay/neuter status, children, resident pets, housing rules, leash behavior, litter habits and first-week adjustment.
Confirm fees, records and license needs
Before finalizing adoption, verify the current adoption fee, included care, microchip details, spay/neuter status, licensing requirements and any special event pricing.
Davis County Animal Adoption Fees, Specials and What to Verify Before Paying
Davis County’s official pages can show live animals and shelter services, while adoption fee specials may change through events or short campaigns. For that reason, the safest public guidance is to verify the current adoption fee directly from Animal Care of Davis County or the specific animal listing before visiting or paying.
Do not copy old Facebook adoption specials, old third-party shelter profiles or outdated fee screenshots as if they are permanent policy. Adult dog specials, waived cat fees, kitten promotions and event prices can be temporary. A publish-ready shelter page should send users to the official adoption page and tell them to confirm the fee for the individual animal.
Use Animal Care of Davis County or the specific pet listing to verify current adoption cost.
Fee specials may be temporary and should not be treated as permanent.
Ask about spay/neuter, vaccines, microchip, county license, medical notes and post-adoption records before finalizing.
If the pet is in foster or listed as a courtesy rehoming, ask exactly who handles the transfer, fee and records.
Adoption cost is only the start. Food, supplies, vet care, preventives, emergency care, grooming and training matter more over time.
Before paying any Davis County adoption fee
- Confirm the animal is still available and not already adopted, reclaimed or moved.
- Ask whether the animal is in the shelter, in foster or listed for rehoming by an owner.
- Verify the current fee directly with the shelter or current listing.
- Ask what veterinary care, microchip, license or spay/neuter details are included.
- Plan for first-week supplies, pet-proofing, veterinary follow-up and long-term cost.
How to View Davis County Adoptable Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Birds and Small Animals

Davis County Dog and Cat Licensing Fees, Microchip Status and Senior Lifetime License
Davis County provides official licensing information for dogs and cats. License fees depend on whether the pet is sterilized and microchipped. The county also lists lifetime license options for qualifying owners age 60 or over when the pet is sterilized and microchipped.
Dog licensing and cat licensing should not be confused with adoption. Adoption may give you the animal, but licensing helps with compliance and can improve the chance of a quick reunion if the pet is lost. A visible tag, microchip and current owner information work together.
1-year sterilized and microchipped dog: $15.
3-year sterilized and microchipped dog: $40.
1-year unsterilized and/or unmicrochipped dog: $40.
Lifetime sterilized and microchipped dog: $25 for qualifying owner age 60+.
