"Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one is a life diminished." Dean Koontz

WELCOME, AND THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTION!

Our Adoption Process: Animals will be adopted first come, first adopt. 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. 

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.

I’m ready! How do I get started?

Come visit us! Upon arrival at HSEC, we will gather some basic information from you to help up connect you with a great pet match.
Plan on adopting and taking your new pet home the same day.

Shelter Location:
