Adoption Process
If you are interested in adopting an animal from our shelter, the first step is to submit an adoption application. The adoption application link, when completed, will come directly into our email. Or you can download an application from the links at the bottom of this page, attach the completed application to an email, and send it to the Union County Humane Society at uchs.org@gmail.com. Paper applications for all animals are available at the shelter.
Once the application is received, the approval process will take approximately 2-5 business days and you will be contacted as soon as it is completed. As a part of the approval process, we verify home ownership or get approval from your landlord. We do this because one of the top 10 reasons animals are surrendered is “landlord does not allow pets.” We also check on a working relationship with a veterinarian for any currently- or previously-owned pets. This shows us your intent to provide any needed medical attention for the new pet and that you will comply with state and local ordinances. We do not adopt to anyone under 21 years of age.
