3. Review

Read the Adoption Policy

4. Screen

We will screen your application and check references withing 72 hours. It can take longer if references can not be reached, so be sure to let those you put down as references know that we will be calling.

5. Interview

We will contact you for an interview.

6. Meet & Greet

If we think that your home is a good fit, we will schedule a meet and greet with the animal that you want to adopt. All members of the family should be present at the meeting. If you are adopting a dog and already have a dog(s), bring your dog(s) to make sure that they get along.

7. Adoption

If the meeting goes well, your adoption will be finalized and you can take your new family member home!

When you adopt from HSH, your adoption fee covers intake exams, spay / neuter, microchip, age appropriate vaccines, heartworm test (dog), snap test (cat), and deworming. Adoption fees and other donations also help pay for food, litter, and other resources needed to make sure that your pet is ready for adoption.
