Great Slave Animal Shelter's adoption process

Additional adoption info

The Adoption Process begins with the completion of our adoption questionnaire. All applications are reviewed by the Adoptions Coordinator. The Adoptions Coordinator reserves the right to either approve or decline an application at their discretion.

Once approved the adoption coordinator will contact the potential adopter to go over fees, contracts and other such legalities.

Adoption questionnaires are approved on a "first come, first serve" basis. That is to say that the first application for any specific animal is the first to be considered for approval.

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Yellowknife, NT.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
