Adopting a dog is easy. Picking just one isn’t. Adopting a dog from The Fairfield County Dog Adoption Center & Shelter is a simple process. Our friendly staff will help you every step of the way. Please note adoptions are on a first come first serve basis, but we will do all we can to help find the right dog for you. To adopt, you can browse animals online or in person at FCDACS. After you’ve found one (or more!), ask a staff member about its availability, known history, personality, likes/dislikes, and more. Then, you’ll need to complete a Dog Adoption Form. A staff member will review your Dog Adoption Form and ask you a few questions for clarification, if needed. Once approved, we’ll help you finalize paperwork. Next, you and your new family member will be on their way home.
