Valley Humane Society

About

Valley Humane Society has worked to save and improve the lives of Tri-Valley companion animals since 1987. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, our programs and services are made possible by the generosity of private donors - we receive no government funds, tax dollars, or money from national humane organizations.

Adoption process

The Adoption Process: Come fall in love! Spend some time with the animal you are considering adopting so you have a sense of their personality. Keep in mind that many animals behave different in our facility than they will in your home. Ask questions of our staff and volunteers! Once you have decided which pet you like best, complete an Adoption Application. Meet with an Adoption Counselor to discuss your family’s expectations, abilities, needs, and previous experience. This is your chance to ask questions, explore your decision, and make sure you have chosen the right pet for your household. Our Adoption Counselors will consider all factors from the perspective of the individual animal’s needs. Upon approval, you will be asked to complete additional paperwork. The Adoption Counselor will walk you through our Adoption Agreement. All documents and pertinent medical information will be copied for your files. We will also assemble a take-home packet which includes information on feeding your new pet, check that the animals’ microchip is accurate, and prepare them for travel. Finally, you will be asked to provide the adoption fee. Please allow approximately one hour to complete the adoption process. After a quick snap for our Facebook page (optional, of course!), you’re ready to head home to start enjoying life with your new friend!
