Are You Ready to Adopt?

Here's what you'll need:

• Landlord approval if you rent your home.
• All family members in to see and consent to the pet.
• Proof of current rabies vaccination/registration of any pets you have at home now.
• Identification and proof of present address (within State of Illinois).
• A veterinary appointment within 7-10 days.
• For an outdoor dog – a fenced yard and a doghouse. No dogs are adopted to be chained outside.

And, the basic rules are...

• All pets must be spayed or neutered – we don’t need anymore puppies or kittens! Plus it’s better for the animal.
• No pets as gifts – please. We have so many returned because they weren’t the right choice.
• Adopters must be at least 18 years of age.
• We adopt out only pets – no guard dogs, mousers, or barn cats.
• Only breeds of dogs suitable for our Illinois weather will be placed as outside animals. No cats will be placed into homes that allow them outside.
• It will be at least 24-hours before your new pet can go home.

Information on the adoption application will be verified.
