Humane Haven Animal Shelter (HHAS) is a registered not-for-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization. As a state licensed humane society, it has dedicated itself to the preservation and protection of the pets of our communities. HHAS serves as the voice for these animals and fosters the placement of homeless pets in compatible, loving homes while also providing the community with pet care awareness and education.
An adoption applicant must be at least 21 years of age and provide picture identification (Illinois drivers license) that states correct address and telephone number. Applicants must live within a 1.5 hour drive of the shelter. To complete an adoption, a minimum of 2 visits must be made to the shelter/adoption center. An adoption application must be completed and reviewed with an HHAS adoption counselor. This takes approximately 30 minutes. All members living in the household must be present during the interview. If the application for adoption is approved (notification occurs within 2 days), then the prospective adopter(s) are asked to give serious consideration about the decision to adopt and to leave a message as to their decision. Upon decision to adopt, an adoption contract and spay/neuter agreement is executed and the adoption fee is paid. HHAS accepts cash or checks as payment. Adoptive families must be willing to allow an authorized representative of HHAS to make an adoption follow-up(s) either in person or by telephone.
