Adoption

The HES is pleased to offer a variety of companion animals for adoption to qualifying families and individuals. Adopting an animal that is otherwise homeless is a tremendous opportunity to find a friend for life! We are extremely happy when one of our animals are adopted to a loving home; not only are we able to see the joy in an animal's face at the prospect of "going home" but also know that there is space for one more animal in need! We and your community thank you for saving an animal through your adoption!

We ask, however, that you take the time to browse through the following information to consider all aspects of the adoption process. We offer a list of questions to ask of yourself before making the final decision to adopt. We also would like to tell you about the joys of adopting a mature pet. Finally we ask that you familiarize yourself with the actual process of adopting a companion animal through HES! Oh, and did you want to take a look at some of the pets we have to offer? Well, that's the most exciting part, isn't it? You can find many of our adoptable animals listed here.

Of course, at the shelter, our friendly staff is always available to guide you through whatever questions you may have. Thank you for considering the adoption of one of our animals. There are none more deserving that those we shelter.
