Shelter Care Insurance is given to each
adopter at HES!
The first month is free!
|
Are you ready to adopt? This is the process!
Take your time to get to know the animals at our shelter!
Adopting an animal is a family decision. Therefore you are encouraged to
bring your entire family to meet your potential companion.
Once you have found an animal
you wish to adopt, it's time to go to the adoption office to fill out an
application. Our counselors will work with you and
answer all your questions.
This is what happens when your application is approved!
 |
All animals are spayed or neutered prior to release.
|
|
|
Upon adoption, a
surgery date will be scheduled. |
|
|
Your new friend will be transported to
the
vet of your choice from a list of Hamilton County Veterinarians, to
perform the surgery. |
|
|
Specific information on date, time of pick up from
the vet, further vaccinations required, and post operative instructions will be
provided upon finalization of adoption.

The number of cats and dogs reclaimed by owners from shelters each year is only
15–30% of dogs and 2–5% of cats entering shelters?
The number of animal shelters in the United States is between 4,000 and 6,000?
The average number of litters a fertile cat can produce in one year is 3?
The average number of kittens in a feline litter is 4–6?
