The Lowell Animal Shelter is dedicated
to find permanent, happy, and loving homes for all our
furry residents.
By adopting a cat or dog, you are giving them a new
life.
The Shelter Supervisor will review your submitted
application to make sure it is a good fit for the
animal. Once you have been approved, the animal(s) can
be taken home!
Adoption fees are waived, which covers the first-year
rabies, feline or canine shots, microchip, and spay or
neuter. If you happen to get a puppy or kitten that is
too young for their vaccinations or procedures, then a
contract is signed for those upcoming dates.
Why do we require a spay/neuter?
One of the goals of the Lowell Animal Shelter is to reduce the pet overpopulation- spaying/neutering is the best way to prevent an unwanted littler. Both cats and dogs can have over ten offspring in a litter, and an unspayed cat may have two litters a year. The ASPCA estimates that there are over 70 million stray cats alone in the United Statesl don't contribute to that number.
See our Microchipping page for more information on why Microchipping your pet is the right choice.
