dogs and other animals.
Applicants are carefully screened to ensure
their new pets will receive proper care. We match pets with people based
on their general lifestyle and the type of care they can provide. We take
these precautions because too many owners don't understand the importance
of this long-term commitment. All adoptions require a completed adoption
application (print and bring with you or fax) and an interview with an adoption
assistant at ACHS.

Step 1
Gain a full understanding of what it means to adopt
Bringing a new pet into your home can be a rewarding and wonderful experience.
You can ensure a good match by understanding what it means to be a pet owner.
Both the cat adoption checklist and dog adoption checklist contain information
on what you need to do once you bring your new pet home.
The Pet Resources section has a wealth of information for pet owners.
|
Step 2
Find the right pet for you
Read the entire pet description. Spend some time with the animals at the
shelter. Adoption is an important decision, do not make it hastily.
Photos and descriptions of all cats and kittens, dogs and puppies, and small
animals are updated continuously.
Visit the shelter and meet our wonderful pets.

Step 3
Complete the adoption application
Download, print, and complete the adoption application. Bring it with you
when you meet the adoption assistant at ACHS (if you did not already send
it via fax or delivery).

Step 4
Meet with an ACHS adoption assistant
You'll meet with an adoption assistant when you visit the shelter.
