Per state law, the new owner has 30 business days from the date of adoption to have the animal spayed or neutered. The owner of a puppy, will be given an extended time period depending on the age of the animal. A puppy should be spayed/neutered by six months of age. If the animal is not altered within the designated time period, Colusa County Animal Control Dept. has the right to void the adoption and retrieve the animal. All payments, deposits, and fees are forfeited. Citations may be issued also.

The spay/neuter deposit will be refunded upon receipt by the Colusa County Animal Shelter, of a veterinary certificate showing that the animal has been altered.

At the time of surgery, the veterinarian will usually administer a rabies vaccination. After your dog has received his/her rabies vaccination, you have 30 days to purchase a Colusa County dog license.

All adoptions are finalized through the Colusa County Sheriff's Office. F.O.C.C.A.S. supplies this website so these animals will have a second chance to find a loving home with caring people.
