Adoption Policy

If you are interested in adopting a pet from our shelter, the process begins with a visit to our shelter to meet the pet of your interest. After meeting the pet, if you decide that the pet is a good match for you and your family, you must then fill out an adoption application. The application must be filled out entirely. Incomplete applications will not be processed. Once you have completed and submitted your application, the application screening process usually takes 2-3 days to complete. Please note that we take multiple applications per pet. Each application is reviewed and the validity of all of the information listed by the applicant is verified. Our goal is place each pet with a forever home that best suits that particular pets needs, therefore we do not do first come first serve adoptions. If your application is the one chosen to adopt the pet, we will contact you and set up a time for you to come in and finalize the paperwork, pay the adoption fee, and pick up your new pet.

There is no fee to fill out the adoption application.

The fees for adoption are as follows:
Female Dogs/Puppies - To be determined
Male Dogs/Puppies - To be determined
Female Cats/Kittens - To be determined
Male Cats/Kittens - To be determined

These fees cover the cost of having the pet spayed or neutered. ALL ANIMALS ADOPTED FROM COLONIAL HEIGHTS ANIMAL SHELTER MUST BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE.
