YOU ARE ADOPTING FROM THE CITY OF SULLIVAN NOT HALO
Adoption fees from the pound are $30 which includes rabies vaccinations. Adoption fees for pets under 4 months old are $10 with adopter being responsible for having their new pet vaccinated. The city accepts cash only, please bring exact amount.
Out-of-state adopters must make arrangements with animal control or Halo or to assist in obtaining the required health certificate prior to adoption.
All animals from the pound must be spayed or neutered within 30 days of adoption or as soon as pet is old enough.
Halo gives adopters a half-price spay/neuter certificate (not to exceed $50) for animals adopted from the pound (while funds continue to be available). These are redeemable at Sullivan Veterinary Hospital, Animal Clinic of Union, St. Clair Pet Hospital, and Krakow Veterinary Clinic. Other veterinarians may be used; a copy of proof of surgery and the certificate would need to be mailed to us for reimbursement.
