According to McCollough, adoption fees are generally lower than breeder prices, and AHS ensures all animals are sterilized and vaccinated prior to adoption, alleviating concerns about additional costs.
She noted that adult dogs are often the longest residents in shelters. AHS currently has around 400 animals across its locations in Coon Rapids, Golden Valley, and Woodbury. Interested adopters can visit their local AHS shelter in person or browse options on the AHS website.
