Why we charge an adoption fee

The Humane Society of Charles County (HSCC) is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that relies completely on private donations and it's own fundraising abilities to operate. We do not receive any federal, state, or government funding nor any funds from national animal welfare organizations to operate.

What does your adoption fee cover?

The fees collected from the adoption of each animal help to offset some of the costs involved in providing care for the animals and preparing an animal for placement into a new home.

  • A general examination by intake staff
  • Canine or feline distemper combination vaccination and Bordetella (canines only)
  • Age-appropriate canine and feline rabies vaccination
  • Deworming medication
  • Flea/tick treatment (if needed)
  • Canine heartworm test or feline leukemia and immunodeficiency virus test (if age appropriate and meets testing guidelines)
  • Spay/neuter
  • Microchip implant 

Small animals also receive similar general examinations and rabies vaccinations for ferrets, along with additional medical care as needed.
