Our adoption fee is $20.00 and when you adopt you will sign a contract that says you will get a rabies shot and spay or neuter your pet within 30 days.  Under Section 2.812 of the animal control ordinance "the animal control officer shall keep the statement (contract) on file and, upon failure to receive proof of vaccination and spay or neuter within thirty (30) days, shall file a complaint with the municipal court."  

To see the complete ordinance for all pets within the Bowie city limits and the fees charged please contact the Bowie Police Department.

I am an adoption success story.  I came into the shelter because I could not go with my family.  I was adopted and my new family took me to the vet and spent a lot of money to make me better.  I am so happy in my new home!
