*Please Note: Applications are good for 1 year and valid for all HSNEI cats and dogs.
 
HSNEI is unable to hold animals. You may visit with more than one animal at your Meet & Greet session.  An approved application is different from an approved adoption.  An application enables you to set up a Meet & Greet session with more than one animal. An adoption contract allows you to take that animal home with you.
 
If it has been 5+ days since you submitted an application without a response, please check your spam, junk, and trash email folders.  If it is not there, please let us know: info@hsnei.org      Thank you!

For safety reasons, we ask that anyone 17 years old or younger is accompanied by an adult when visiting with an animal.

Adoption Policies & Procedures

 

We provide safe shelter for  cats & dogs in need while we find their forever families.
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 our short adoption application, we complete a public record search and contact people to acquire information as necessary to review your application.

  • We will follow up with next steps, and our adoption counselors will be there to guide you each step of the way.

  • Applications are valid for one year after acceptance.
    If you do not receive this acceptance email, 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 $50.00-$75.00 for cats and $100.00-$300.00 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 apply to adopt a HSNEI dog or cat, with exceptions at staff discretion.
