Our application can be found at the bottom of the "Adopt" page on the HPC website. All animals are examined (with blood work and any other testing needed), altered, and vaccinated prior to adoption. The adoption fee is $100 for adult dogs, $50 for senior dogs, and $50-75 for cats. We are a volunteer-based sanctuary, so it may take a day or two to process your application.
Adoption steps
- Submit Application
Our application requests information about the adopter, other members of the household (including pets), and the home environment.
- Approve Application
Before an application is approved, we contact personal and vet references.
- Meet the Pet
If the application is approved, we schedule a "meet and greet." If that goes well, we move to the next step.
- Home Check
We take the desired animal to the home. Everyone in the family, including other pets, must be present.
- Take the Pet Home
If the home visit goes well, the family fosters the animal for several weeks. Adoption occurs if HPC and the family feel the "fit" is good.
