Adoption

Adoption Viewing Hours

Monday to Friday 12:00pm - 5:00pm
Saturday and Sunday 12:00pm - 4:00pm
The shelter is closed on statutory holidays.

All dogs, cats and rabbits are spayed or neutered and provided with permanent identification prior to going to their new home. This is done because overpopulation and lack of proper identification are the leading causes of animal homelessness in our community. In addition, all animals are vaccinated and flea and worm treated while in the care of DCAS. The costs of these procedures are included in your adoption fee and this saves you the significant initial expense associated to owning a new pet.

Due to the large number of animals admitted to the shelter that require medical care, only those requiring spay or neuter or urgent veterinary care will be examined by a veterinarian. Veterinarians in our community have generously provided a voucher for a free veterinary examination for every adopted animal from the Delta Community Animal Shelter.  This will be provided to you at the time of adoption.
