Cost of Surrender and Adoption at PAWS Can't Post

Fees for bringing in (surrender) an animal OR adopting a pet from PAWS are as follows (from the office noticeboard). Surrender and Adoption have the same rates.

- Adult Dog: RM 50
- Puppy: RM 80
- Adult Cat: RM30
- Kitten: RM50


Notes:
Shelter animals that are considered ready for adoption are fully vaccinated and neutered/spayed. The amount for adopting is higher for a pedigree or half pedigree.

Anyone who wants to take out an animal early (before its sniped) must go into the Early Adoption Programme and pre-pay fully for vaccinations and neuter (the real cost of pet ownership = RM350 + adoption fee), be a PAWS full member and be ready to bring the animal back for its scheduled vaccination and neuter. Too many rules and conditions apply...

Surrender for animals over 6 years and above - almost always an automatic RM 150 if not more. It is for put to sleep (PTS) as the shelter cannot rehome these older animals.
People do bring their sick or old family pet for PTS and may request to be present for the procedure. Its also about RM 150.

Van/Lorry pick up request is at RM60 on top of surrender fee. But old lorry can break down anytime.

Recovering a dog caught by MBSA or MPPJ council - same as adoption rate (the council pound charge over RM100 for recovery, some even up to RM250 with a compound fine). At PAWS, repeat offenders may be asked to produce the animal's dog license. Repeat repeat offenders will have to get a letter/receipt from the council after paying the full fine to the council. Someone actually proposed that PAWS snip the animal first before release - but the owners normally dun want. Plenty of IPO (irresponsible pet owners) around.

Good chance you will get flat "NO" if you try to negotiate for cheaper adoption or surrender fee. Good chance if you own the dog and come in with the dog and its puppies - you will get a flat "NO" and possibly a mouthful by very fierce PAWS volunteers & staff.

Great news - Fostering is ALWAYS free and is considered a service to the animals. Normally small puppies and kittens need fostering. Hard work though. I tried with 4 puppies with bottle every few hours. Kittens are worse... so small and fragile.
