Adoption Process

1. Walk through the kennels to get an idea of which pets you may be interested in visiting. Please do not touch the animals as you walk through the kennels. Disease can be spread very easily with your hands if you touch animal to animal. 2. Keep an open mind! Don’t judge an animal by the way it acts in the kennel. Remember, these animals are in an unfamiliar place that is stressful to them. Some dogs bark simply because they are excited to see you and want attention, but this doesn’t mean they will always bark at home. 3. Before you can visit with any of the animals you have seen, you must fill out an Adoption Profile. Adoption Profiles must be approved by an Adoption Counselor. The profile helps the Adoption Counselor learn more about your lifestyle and needs so they can match you to the right pet. Your profile will be kept on file for 90 days. 4. After your profile has been approved, an Adoption Counselor will bring the animal you have selected into a “Get Acquainted Room” where you can visit with the animal. We ask that you bring your children and other family members to meet with the animal to ensure that it is a good match. Most of our animals come to us as strays and we know little about them or their history. We cannot always be sure on how they will blend with children, other family members, and other animals in your household. We do not want to put anyone in a risky situation at home. 5. Once you have found the right pet for your family, there is paperwork and fees that must be paid to finalize an adoption. All animals adopted from HHHS are sterilized before going to their new home. 6. Lastly, enjoy the new member of the family! They brought us plenty of happiness while they were in our care and we know they will bring you an entire lifetime of joy!
