Adoption Information

  • Please plan on allowing adequate time to be matched with a pet, consult with our team, and complete all necessary paperwork. An average adoption takes about an hour at minimum.

  • Bring with you a picture ID with a current address. If this isn’t available, we will accept a picture ID with a current utility bill.

  • You must be at least 18 years of age.

  • A meet-and-greet with current household dogs is recommended for most and required for some adult dogs.

  • If applicable, your landlord must be aware and consent to your adoption.

Our adoption fee varies per pet depending on age, breed, and/or medical condition(s). This fee includes:

  • Spay or neuter surgery

  • Heartworm test on dogs 6 months and older

  • Current vaccinations

  • Deworming treatment

  • Microchip

  • Any current medications (if applicable)

We encourage our adopters to use our contact-free card payment system when completing their adoption at NHA.
