Our Adoption Policy

Anyone interested in adopting an animal from the Humane Society & SPCA of Hancock County must follow these steps for adoption......

• 1. You must be willing to come in person to our facility and meet the animal. At that time if adopting you will fill out appropriate paperwork. Out of town and state adoptions are welcome, but the same guidelines apply. There will be no on line or over the phone adoptions. NO EXCEPTIONS!!
• 2. All members of the family (including the furry ones) must also visit with the animal before the adoption will be approved to ensure compatibility with the household. Visiting animals must be accompanied with current vaccination records.* There will be no refunds after the adoption is finalized.*
• 3. Upon adoption the animal will then be scheduled for the spay/neuter surgery. All dogs/cats will be spayed/neutered before leaving our facility. NO EXCEPTIONS!
• 4. Two trips to the Humane Society will be required. One for visiting and adoption procedure and the second to pick up the animal after surgery.
• 5. The person(s) responsible for the animal, actual owner(s), will be required to be here in person to pay for adoption and sign paperwork. No adoption will be approved as a gift. These policies are final. We do our best to find the best suitable home possible for each and every animal up for adoption. Thank you for helping our shelter animals!
