Please Note: Adoption forms are good for 1 year and valid for all HSNEI cats and dogs. HSNEI cannot hold animals. You may visit with more than one animal at your Meet & Greet session. If it has been 2+ days since you submitted your adoption form without a response from us, please check your spam, junk, and trash email folders. If it is not there, please let us know: info@hsnei.org Thank you!
For safe interactions, anyone 17 years old or younger needs to be accompanied by an adult when visiting with an animal.
Adoption Policies & Procedures
Adoption is a lifetime responsibility and commitment to your new family member.
- We advocate for humane treatment of cats and dogs in our care and in our communities.
- We make a commitment to be there for your family and assist with adjustment(s) and resources.
- After submitting your short adoption form, we complete a public record search and contact you to schedule a phone consultation to talk about next steps and to guide you each step of the way.
- Adoption forms are valid for one year after acceptance. If we do not contact you, please make sure to check your junk or spam folders.
- We encourage the entire family to meet with your matched candidates before adopting a new family member.
- Adoption fees range from $60.00-$75.00 for cats and $100.00-$350.00 for dogs depending on the animal's age and gender. We intentionally keep these fees as low as possible, even though they do not fully cover veterinary expenses and housing costs.
- We promote and provide assistance for dog and cat spay/neuter surgeries.
- Rabies vaccinations are required for spay-neuter surgeries.
- Adopters must be 21 years old to adopt an HSNEI dog or cat, with exceptions at staff discretion.
