Adoption policy

What we ask of adopters

We match animals to homes based on the pet's needs, your household and local ordinances. Staff may ask for landlord approval, vet references or a meet-and-greet with resident pets.

Adopters must be 18 or older with a valid ID. Some animals need a fenced yard, a quiet indoor-only home or an experienced handler; we will explain any special requirements for the pet you choose.

Please bring

  • Valid photo ID and proof of address
  • Landlord approval if you rent
  • All household members present for a meet-and-greet when possible
  • Existing pets up to date on vaccinations

After you apply

What happens next

Our adoption team reviews every application, checks your references and veterinarian, and calls or emails you to arrange a visit. If we give preliminary approval, please confirm within 48 hours so we can hold the pet for you.

Prefer not to use the online form? Call (734) 243-3669 or email support@monroe-humane.org with the animal's name (if known) and the best time to reach you.
