Our adoption counselors are happy to discuss the personalities and needs of each animal with you. If you are unsure of exactly what you are looking for in a pet, we can help you find an animal who best suits your lifestyle. The first step in our adoption process is to complete a pre-adoption questionnaire available at https://humanesocietyofwestchester.org/information-about-adopting-a-pet/ The pre-adoption questionnaire is designed so that we can better assist you. Please choose from one of the options below to adopt a dog, a cat or a small animal:

After you submit the pre-adoption questionnaire please call and speak with an adoption counselor. They will schedule a “meet and greet” adoption appointment, where you can interact with the animal of your choice in a private room and get to know each other better. In most cases, your new companion can go home with you the same day, However, we do not guarantee same day adoptions.
