Adopt a Loving Friend Today
Our adoption process ensures that each pet and family have the best chance at success. We accept multiple applications for each animal. Each application is carefully evaluated to find the best match for each pet. All other applications are kept in our second-chance file. We will keep your application for one year; if you see another animal you’re interested in, call us, and we’ll consider your application for that pet. We may also reach out if a new animal matches what you’re looking for.
All HSMC adoptions require an approved application.

Adoption Policy
Every day, our shelter cares for dozens of wonderful dogs and cats waiting to join loving families. From the moment they arrive until they find their forever homes, we’re dedicated to their health, happiness, and well-being.
How to Adopt
If you’ve found a dog or cat you’d like to bring home, simply complete our adoption application. Once we receive it, we will:
- Review your information
- Verify veterinary records (when available)
- Schedule a meet-and-greet to ensure a perfect match
Our mission is to set you—and your new companion—up for a lifetime of joy together.
