LENAWEE HUMANE SOCIETY ADOPTION POLICY

In order to adopt a pet from LHS, you must meet the following conditions:

-You must be 21 years of age or older to adopt. Animals cannot be adopted as gifts for someone outside your residence.

-You must have your Landlord’s permission to have an animal if you rent. An LHS representative will call your landlord to verify any pet restrictions. Certain breeds up for adoption are restricted to Home Owners only.

-All Animals presently owned by you must have a good vet care history. This includes necessary vaccines, heartworm testing and prevention for your dog(s), and necessary vaccines and Leukemia/FIV testing for your cat(s), no exceptions.

-You must provide us with at least 2 character references that know you well but do not reside in the same household. Only one family member, please.

The Lenawee Humane Society reserves the right to refuse adoptions to anyone. Each one of our animals has different needs and we try to place them accordingly. Please understand that completing this application does not guarantee you will be approved.

No animals will be adopted to prospective owners who mislead our staff or fail to provide accurate information on the adoption application. We will hold an animal for an approved adopter for one business day only. You will have the option to Foster an animal for 3-5 days before completing the adoption. This requires a refundable deposit equal to the adoption fee of the animal you are interested in. You must finalize the adoption or return the animal to the shelter at the end of your foster period.

Adoption prices are as follows:

Please allow a minimum of 1 hour for us to complete the adoption process. This allows us to ensure our animals are going to loving homes and also to answer any questions you may have. You may fax or email an adoption application to us at any time to get a head start on the approval process.

All adoptions stop at 4:00 PM. We apologize for any inconvenience and will continue the approval process for any submitted applications on our next business day.

Within two weeks of adoption: We ask that you take your new pet to a veterinarian for a checkup to establish a timeline and relationship for future care. This also helps you to ensure that you have adopted a happy and healthy new pet.

Your adoption price will include the following:

All dogs are kept on Monthly Heartworm Prevention while under our care.

All cats and dogs are treated as needed for fleas, ticks, ear mites, and intestinal parasites.

All of our shelter animals are spayed & neutered at HUMANE OHIO!
