Adoption Process
If you are interested in adopting a pet, please fill out our online adoption application and we’ll be in touch about next steps in the process. Most applications are approved within 24 to 72 hours; however, it can take 5 to 7 business days to process applications on pets with a high volume of applications.
We do conduct background checks and require approval from landlords if you rent your home. “Meet and greets” are scheduled to make sure that the pet is the right fit for you and your family.
We require all of your current pets to be up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered.
If you have any issues filling our our online adoption application, please send an email to animalsheltercustomerservice@gmail.com or call us at (740) 452-1077 and we will be happy to assist you! We also have paper applications available at the Shelter during our regular customer service hours.
**Please note: If you fill out an adoption application on PetFinder or any website other than this one, we DO NOT receive it.
Adopt a Dog
All dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped upon adoption.
Once you have an approved adoption application all family members residing in the home must come in for a meet and greet with the dog. If you currently have a dog, that dog must also come to meet the potential new dog to ensure it will be a good fit.
