WELCOME, AND THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTION OF A SHELTER COMPANION!
We have streamlined our adoption process!
We will no longer be accepting holds on any adoption animals. You will need to come to HSEC and adopt them at the time you meet them. This will help move animals into homes quicker while creating space for new animals coming in.
This application is designed to help determine what will be in the best interest of the animal and to assist potential adopters in finding a companion that is most compatible with their lifestyle.
Please understand that the animal's welfare must and will always be our foremost consideration.
Therefore, the Humane Society reserves the right to approve or deny an adoption.
