The Adoption Process
Adopting a pet is a serious commitment. We strongly encourage anyone thinking about adding a four-legged family member to do their research and be prepared to welcome a new member into your family.
You must be at least 21 years old to adopt from Little Shelter.
What to expect:
Upon arriving at Little Shelter you will be given a short pre-interview form to fill out. The adoption counselors will show you the pets you are interested in as well as pets that fit your household and lifestyle.
-
All household members must come to Little Shelter to meet your new pet.
-
Upon finding the ideal pet for you, you and the adoption counselor will place the animal on hold for 24 hours.
-
Little Shelter does not do same day adoptions.
-
During this time our adoption counselors will check two personal references for the adopters as well as perform a veterinarian check.
-
If you have a landlord, we will check your building's policies on pet ownership.
-
If you have a another pet an interaction is required. This is usually the last step in the adoption process.
-
Upon completing this process, the adopters will come back the next day and take their newly adopted pet home and will get to take a family photo with their pet. Congratulations!
