ADOPTION PROCESS: Our adoption process is simple and straightforward. Start by completing our pre-screening application: https://tinyurl.com/adoptfromHSCC Applications are typically approved or declined the same day. Once approved and all parties agree, adoption fees are paid and the contract is signed. If the pet is not yet spayed/neutered or current on a rabies vaccine, they will not go home the same day. An appointment will be scheduled, and you'll receive further instructions at that time. We hope this helps answer your questions!
