*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.
