St. Louis County raises pet adoption fees to $80 amid shelter overcrowding and rising costs.
St. Louis County is raising pet adoption fees from $40 to $80 starting October 29, despite an overcrowded shelter with over 170 animals, including dog Amelia, who has been there since June.
The fee increase, approved by the County Council over Executive Sam Page’s veto, aims to cover rising costs for staffing, food, and veterinary care.
Officials warn the rise may deter adoptions, with daily care costing $20 per animal.
Public Health Director Dr. Kanika Cunningham urges community support, including fostering, to ease strain and avoid further financial pressure on the shelter.
