Adopt

Visit our Vancouver or Longview campuses to view adoptable pets in person. If you already know the animal you want to meet, proceed to the adoption counter when arriving and a member of our team will assist you with the next steps.

Meeting adoptable pets is done on a first-come/first-served basis. You may request to meet up to two dogs or cats during your visit. Adoptable dogs (excluding puppies) will need to meet all individuals and other dogs who live in the adopter's household.

There may be a wait time during our busiest times, especially weekends. Please plan accordingly and allow extra time and flexibility during your visit. To allow time for the adoption process, we are generally unable to accommodate adoption socials after 5:30 pm.

Most pets are ready to go home the same day, so come prepared. We do not offer holds for adoptable pets.

Cats and small animals must go home in a carrier - you may bring your own carrier or purchase one at HSSW. Dogs must go home with a collar and leash. An adoption counselor will be available to assist with any additional questions you may have as you finalize your adoption.

It's our way of thanking those who have sacrificed. Every day, active-duty and veterans of US Military service receive 10% off adoption fees. 

Adoption fees for senior pets (age 7+) are waived when adopted by a senior (age 62+). It's our way of bringing a little extra joy to our community and help more pets find loving homes.
