Heartland Humane Shelter & Care

Please visit our website, heartlandhumane.org, specifically our Adoptions page (heartlandhumane.org/adoptions/), for up-to-date information on adoption procedures. Things to know: • We reserve the right to deny an adoption if the animal will not be a good fit for your home. • Adoption fees must be paid at the time of adoption (see below for a table of current adoption fees). • Dogs: If you have a dog in your home already, you will need to schedule a dog-to-dog meet at the shelter before your adoption can be approved. • Cats and small animals: We do not have the ability to do pet meets with cats or small animals prior to adoption. However, we can counsel you on safely introducing a new pet into the home, and will always take our animals back if an adoption does not work out. • We require that animals are spayed/neutered prior to adoption. If an animal is not yet fixed, you may place a hold on it until it is ready to be adopted. Heartland will always take our animals back if an adoption does not work out. [Adoption fees must be paid at the time of adoption. We accept cash and credit/debit for adoption fees. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, microchip, appropriate vaccinations and parasite treatments, collar and tags (if appropriate), leash/carrier, free local veterinarian exam, and an optional one month of free pet insurance.]
