Adoption process

Finding Love. Meet and Greet - Our shelter offers “get acquainted” spaces where prospective adopters can become familiar with our animals. If you already have a dog, we love for you to bring him or her along for a “meet and greet.” Our adoption counselors can provide coaching for you and your pet to help welcome a new family member. Adopt - The adoption process at Santa Maria Valley Humane Society and with our off-site adoption partners is the same. Please allow about 30 minutes for an informal interview process and to complete an adoption agreement. Every animal presented for adoption by the Humane Society is ready to go to their new home. Dogs, cats, puppies and kittens have been examined by a veterinarian, fully vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and permanently identified with a microchip. All animals also go home with a gift of discounted pet health insurance, a free health examination by a private practice veterinarian, and a supply of Purina® pet food. Adopters must be at least 18 years of age and have a valid state-issued identification. We accept cash, Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express for payment.
