Thank you for your interest in adopting a pet! We understand that many people think that adoption applications are a burdensome step required by humane organizations. It is not our intention to make the adoption process difficult, but to insure that each animal in our care gets a home well suited to their needs and activity level, and that you get the best possible match in a pet given your lifestyle and your own needs. It is our goal to find permanent, loving and responsible homes for the animals that have been given a second chance at life at Shelby Humane Society.
