ADOPTIONS
The Humane Society is always seeking permanent, loving homes for the cats and dogs in the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, we would love to help you find just the right pet for your home. 

To get started:

Shelter hours: Open Mon, Tue, Thur, Fri 11 am - 5 pm; Sat. 11 am - 2 pm; Closed Wed & Sun

  • Discuss your perfect pet with our staff. We can help you “Meet your Match”

  • Spend time with the dog or cat, play with them, let them meet members  of your family, including other pets and children

  • Fill out an application form – we love the animals in our care, so naturally we screen applicants to make sure each pet goes to a permanent and loving home

  • After your adoption is approved, we ask you to sign an adoption contract to make a commitment to care for your new friend for the rest of his/her life

  • Pay the low adoption fee of $75 which includes your pet having rabies shots, vaccinations (if over 3 months old), spayed or neutered, and microchipped. We accept check, cash, MasterCard, and Visa.

  • Congratulations! It’s time to take your new pet home. We recommend you take your new pet for a thorough veterinary examination within 21 days. We’ll be happy to help you find a local vet in your area. We also have suggestions on how to transition your pet from the shelter to your home.

 Questions?  Call us or email us, we’re happy to help.
