The Adoption Process in Detail:

Step 1.
Browse our pets available for adoption on our website hornellanimalshelter.org, or visit our shelter and meet our animals in person. Animals in foster homes/ S.P.I.R.I.T. program are required to have an approved application before we will schedule a meet and greet. If you are interested in adopting a dog you will need to complete a pup partners questionnaire before you will be able to meet our dogs. Pup partners is our new match making program based on the behavioral assessments of our dogs. This ensures you will be paired with a dog who is an appropriate match for your household. We require that the whole family come to the shelter to meet the pet you are considering. If you’re adopting a dog and have a dog(s) currently living in your home, you will be required to bring your dog in for a meet and greet. You must provide proof that your dog(s) are current on their rabies, and distemper vaccines prior to setting up a meet and greet.

Step 2.
Visit our shelter, or website hornellanimalshelter.org to fill out an adoption application. Once the application is completed please submit it to us via email, fax, mail, or dropping it off to the shelter. Once we receive your application we can begin the approval process. ** We receive several applications daily, sometimes multiple applications on any one animal. We try our best to process applications as quickly and efficiently as possible. Please be patient while we process your application as it may take anywhere between 1-7 business days or more depending on the number of applications we receive, and how quickly your personal references, veterinarian, landlord, etc. are able to be reached. **

Step 3.
Once you’ve been approved to adopt, you’ll pay an adoption fee — and in most cases you can bring home your new family member right away (provided the animal is of age for adoption)! In some cases, depending on the age, and status of the animal you have been approved for, the animal may be sent out on a foster to adopt with you. Typically this is done when an animal still needs to be spayed/ neutered, is not old enough to be spayed/ neutered yet, is on medication, or if you want to make sure the animal is going to be a perfect fit. If this is the case, then an adoption counselor will let you know the length of which the animal will be on foster to adopt, and when you will be able to finalize the adoption.

Congratulations!
