current Dog adoption process - please read!
*Please note that masks are required for all visitors regardless of vaccination status. Appointments are not required - adoptions are processed on a first come, first served basis.*
1. Look through the available dogs listed here and read their full profiles to learn if there may be a potential match for you.
2. Fill out HSCC’s Dog Adopter Profile (may also be done during your visit, but submitting it online saves time!)
3. Stop by HSCC to meet with an Adoption Counselor who will discuss your profile and the dog(s) you are interested in to find a potential match. Don't forget to bring your photo ID (required)!
4. Meet the dog! Take them for a walk or spend some time in our play yard.
5. Still interested in adopting? An Adoption Counselor will further discuss the dog’s medical/behavioral history and go over general dog care and training tips.
6. Make it official! Pay the adoption fee, sign the contract, and take your new dog home OR place a hold and come back within 24 hours to finish the process. Please note that all dogs must leave with a collar and a leash (available for sale at HSCC).
