What You Need in Order to Adopt

Thank you for considering adopting a companion animal from Charles Henderson Animal Rescue. Now that you feel you are ready to adopt, we want to find the right match for you. You are about to make an important commitment that should not be rushed into. Your new pet will be with you for years, and choosing him or her is a big decision. Please check out our adoption tips for more information.

When you are ready to visit Charles Henderson Animal Rescue, please bring the following to facilitate the adoption process:

•You must be 21 years of age or older to adopt.
•Two forms of identification. A government issued photo ID (driver's license, state identification card, military ID, etc.) and proof of current address (A telephone, utility or cable television bill qualifies.)
•You need to provide three personal references, reachable by phone & a vet reference.
•Dog adopters, we strongly encourage all members of your household to come to the Adoption Center to meet the new pet. If you already have a dog at home, it's a great idea to bring him or her along as well, so that our behavior counselors can help you find the dog who is best suited to your current dog.
•Be sure to check your building's policy relevant to pet ownership to avoid any landlord concerns.

If you have any questions, please call Charles Henderson Animal Rescue at 347 420 0658.
