    • Have their landlord's consent prior to bringing a newly adopted animal home.

Shelter info

The Bloomington animal shelter contracts with Richfield, Eden Prairie and the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. Fees are based on a calendar day not a 24 hour period.  

  • Impound: $75
  • Daily boarding: $31
  • Tax 9.025%: $2.80 per calendar day

All fees are the same for each agency.

If an animal is found in Richfield, Eden Prairie or the Airport, please contact their police department for impounding services. Please do not bring found animals directly to the Bloomington Animal Shelter as our officers may not be able to accept them. 

What happens to animals at the shelter? 

Staff makes every attempt to return animals to their families. The City works with several animal rescues throughout the metro area and statewide to place unclaimed animals. Unclaimed animals can also be adopted from the shelter.  

There is not a veterinarian office in the shelter, nor are veterinary services provided. 

What determines if a pet is not adoptable? 

  • The animal shows aggression towards people or other pets.
  • The animal has attacked or bitten people or other pets without provocation.
  • The animal is seriously ill or injured.
  • If the illness or injuries are so extensive the animal may be humanly euthanized.
