Adoption process

All potential adopters are required to fill out an Adoption Questionnaire. The Adoption Questionnaire helps our Adoption Counselors and Matchmakers understand what you are looking for in a pet. They know our available animals and are very skilled at suggesting animals that are likely to be a good fit. An Adoption Counselor or Matchmaker will guide you through the facility and show you the many wonderful animals available for adoption. There are special spaces where you can interact with the animal and introduce your current dog(s), if you brought them. You can take as much time as you need to decide if you would like to adopt. Once you have made your decision, your Adoption Counselor will process the paperwork and transfer custody of the pet to you. Meanwhile, the pet will receive a final “med check.” In most cases, you can take your pet home that day. You will receive an email with your pet’s medical history and a copy of the adoption contract, plus other helpful information. Please review these items when you get home and make sure to schedule any follow-up appointments, including your free first exam at the Animal Clinic of the Humane Society of Sarasota County. Plan to spend at least an hour at HSSC to complete the adoption process.
