The Cecil County SPCA has many wonderful dogs and cats (and occasionally a few nontraditional animals) ready for adoption. Many of these animals are previous house and farm pets that are looking for a second chance to find a forever home and to make a friend for life!

Dogs: $175.00 and UP, includes Vet Exam, heartworm screen, Rabies vaccination, DAPP, Bordetella, spay or neuter, and a Microchip. (Note: fee does not include dog license. All dogs in Cecil County MD, over 4 months of age, must be licensed. License are available at the CCSPCA at the time of adoption.)

Cats: $125 and UP, includes Vet exam, Rabies vaccination, FVRCP, FELV and FIV test, and spay or neuter.

Nontraditional Animals: vary with type and size, contact shelter for more details. The CCSPCA accepts only VISA, Mastercard and cash for adoption fee payments.

The SPCA wishes to encourage adopters to "look first" at mixed breed and senior pets, so as an incentive, they have lower adoption fees than purebred dogs. Purebreds tend to be adopted quickly, while seniors, mixed breeds and animals with health issues may be overlooked by adopters and remain at the shelter for a longer period of time. Purebred pet adoption fees help offset medical and other costs of the non-purebreds left behind, but they are still much lower than prevailing fees set by kennels and advertised "sales" of purebreds.

If you are coming to the CCSPCA to adopt an animal please print and fill out an adoption application to help speed up the adoption process (click here for application).

Applicants must be 18 years or older and provide a current driver's license or other valid form of identification. The Cecil County SPCA, Inc. takes the following items into consideration when adopting:

• The reason for adopting an animal
• Employment status
• Housing status
• Allergy considerations
• Involvement of family members
• Previous pet history
• Animal care and housing & containment
• Existing pets

Adoption of an animal from the CCSPCA entails certain responsibilities including but not limited to, mandatory spay/neuter, proper vet care, and proper housing and feeding.
