Adoption Application

We are happy you are considering adopting one of our wonderful pets. The goal of our adoption program is to find permanent, loving, responsible homes for the animals in our care. We try to find a match that considers not only the best interests of the animal, but those of the caretaker as well. Understand that we have the right to deny any application.

Adoption Information

You can view all of our adoptable pets online. We update their availability regularly. If you see a pet you're interested in, contact the Marion County Humane Society.

Pet Introductions

If you need to introduce your pet(s) to our pet: We recommend visiting an animal first to make sure that it is a good candidate for your home, and so that you have free hands. If you decide you would like to proceed with a meet and greet, please bring your dog to the humane society and staff will assist you.

 

Please do not bring your dog into the kennel area. Instead, have someone you trust hold onto your dog and notify a staff member that you are here for the introduction, or you can leave them in your car if it is weather appropriate. MCHS staff will let your dog and our dog greet each other naturally.

 

Please plan on separating your newly adopted dog from your current dog on your drive home (in a kennel, for example), unless you have assistance.
