Adoption Policies

  • We do require that ALL animals adopted from the Humane Society be spayed/neutered, receive proper veterinary care (including vaccinations), be properly licensed and adhere to all laws and ordinances.
  • We do require that everyone in the household go through a "Pre-Adoption Consultation" prior to the actual adoption.
  • We reserve the right to approve or refuse adoption to anyone.
  • If at any time your adopted pet is not being kept in accordance with our adoption policies, we reserve the right to reclaim the animal.
  • It is our job to prevent suffering: those animals that cannot be placed according to these policies will be humanely euthanized.
