From our family to yours

Adoption is a huge deal to us. We make a lifetime guarantee to our companions. In return, we’re asking you to provide a lifetime commitment once you’ve invited a pet to join your family. We’re excited that you're considering adoption. We look forward to working with you to find the right match!

Timeline

Our primary objective is to ensure the correct match for the people and the pets that we’re sending to their forever homes. Our goal is to send dogs and cats home as quickly as we can, while still being thorough. Processing times will vary and are largely dependent on our ability to connect with your references, landlord, and veterinarian. To keep the process moving along, please make sure you’ve done your part:

1. Fill out your application completely - missing information slows down the process.
2. Let your references know to expect our call.
3. If you rent, let your landlord know to expect our call.
4. If you currently have pets, ask your veterinarian to be prepared to release your records.
5. Add adopt@heanokill.org to your email contacts and check your spam/junk folders for communications from our Adoptions Team. 

Lifetime Guarantee

We make a pact with every animal that enters our care: They’re promised a loving home for the rest of their life. In turn, when you make the commitment to adopt, we ask you to make a lifetime commitment. We believe family is forever.
