Adoption process

The adoption process at NHA is friendly, educational and rewarding! Animals come to us looking for a forever home, and we make certain to give them their best shot. All animals in our Adoption Program, while at NHA, receive spay/neuter surgery, are current on their vaccinations, are microchipped, and receive high-quality veterinary care from our team of full-time board-certified veterinary staff. And of course, lots of love! Now, it’s your turn to love them forever. Noticing that we use the word “forever” a lot? Well, it is really important to us that our pets find a permanent home! Therefore, adoption applicants are carefully screened and must meet adoption requirements prior to taking your new furry friend home. Now here comes the hard part - visit with our wonderful cats and dogs and try to pick just one! NHA Pet Service Representatives are available to provide advice on selecting the best match for you and will schedule a Meet & Greet between family members (including those with four-legs) and your prospective pet to help you determine which animal will best accept your lifestyle. After reviewing a pet, you can complete an online application located on each pet’s adoption information page. PLEASE NOTE: completing an application does NOT reserve a pet for you. It simply allows you to save time when you come to the shelter to complete your adoption. We do not allow online holds or reservations of pets.
