1. First fill out our Adoption Application and send it to us. During review, your vet will be contacted for reference on past and present pets. If you currently don't have pets and do not have a vet, we recommend checking for vets in your area and have one selected for when we do a home visit. 2. The next step involves a home visit. We strongly feel that this is one of the most important steps to in our adoption process. Home visits tell us if the pet is compatible with other pets that you may already have and that the pet doesn't have any problems with its new environment. The pet should feel comfortable with the surrounding environment, and meeting all the members of your entire family. The home visit gives us the opportunity to know if everyone is in agreement to the adoption and is comfortable with it. 3. Adoption contract and adoption fee. After the home visit and you are approved for adoption, there is an adoption fee ($150) as well as an adoption contract. The contract is your word in writing that you will take the best care for the pet and that they will live out the rest of their lives with a loving family. The fee helps us cover some of our vetting expenses of the pet, including vaccinations and neutering/spaying.

Each year, the Athens Limestone Animal Shelter accepts more than 3,000 dogs and cats from animal control officers in Athens and Limestone County and from citizens who find strays or can no longer care for their pets. Every effort is made to reunite lost animals with their families and to find loving, forever homes for every adoptable dog and cat.
