Potential adopters are carefully screened to ensure we find the right forever home for the dogs and cats we rescue. Since animals live in foster homes, we get to know their personality and temperament. Our adoption process allows us to learn about you so that we can help find the perfect match for your home.
An adoption coordinator will review your application to ensure your home and lifestyle are a good match for the needs of the animal you’re interested in adopting, and contact references. Please allow 3-5 days for an adoption coordinator to contact you.
ADOPTION FEES:
Can be an be found online at www.henricohumane.org/adoptionfaq. The adoption fee covers the cost of shots, spay/neuter, microchipping and worm/flea treatments.
