Additional adoption info
AAHS has many wonderful pets waiting to be loved. Our Adoption Counselors can assist in finding a good match for you. You can even see available pets online!
Step 1: Complete an adoption application and ask any questions you may have. As part of the adoption, your Adoption Counselor will ask for a veterinary reference and landlord approval.
Step 2: Your Adoption Counselor will review your application with you and go over how to get your home ready for your new pet. Preparing ahead for the newest arrival helps your pet feel safe and relaxed as it makes the big move from shelter to forever home. If you are already prepared to bring your new pet home, he or she can go home with you as early as the same day!
Step 3: Your Adoption Counselor will work with you to answer any questions you have and will go over your new pet's history and medical information. You'll also pay the adoption fee and sign the Adoption Agreement, which officially transfers your new pet's ownership to you.
Step 4: Take home the newest member of your family! Please don't hesitate to call on AAHS if we can be of any assistance, even after the adoption process is complete.
