Instructions:
- First, pick out your little buddy on our Adoptable Animals page. If you have questions, feel free to get in touch under Contact Us. We understand that working with people over the internet can be questionable, and we are glad to provide current photographs of animals upon request between the hours of 9am and 5pm, which allows the animals to keep their normal sleep schedules.
- Come back here and fill out the Adoption Application below. Please note that our hours of operation are 9am-5pm, Monday through Friday. Your application will be processed within two to three business days, depending on how quickly we can get in touch with your references. The best thing you can do to ensure your application's quick approval is provide good references with current contact information, and let them know to expect (and answer) our call.
- Once your application is approved, you will be informed by a Lee Shore representative. We are happy to arrange meet-and-greets for approved applicants. It is important to us that our animals go to homes that will be good fits for them as well as you. PLEASE NOTE: APPLICATION APPROVAL DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE ANIMAL WILL BE HELD.
- Come back to this page again to fill out your Adoption Contract. This is a promise to provide proper care for your pet, including making sure it is spayed or neutered, and that in the unlikely event you need to re-home your animal, you will contact Lee Shore first. Our priority is happy, healthy animals for life. If it doesn't work out with you, we want to make sure that your animal is well cared for.
- Use the Pay My Adoption Fee below to pay the appropriate adoption fee. ONLY WHEN THE ADOPTION CONTRACT IS FILED AND THE ADOPTION FEE IS PAID IS THE ANIMAL YOURS. UNTIL BOTH CONTRACT AND PAYMENT ARE RECEIVED, NO ANIMAL CAN BE HELD FOR ANY APPROVED APPLICANT. Please note that adoption fees are nonrefundable.
- Bring your new friend home! Thank you for choosing adoption.
