Interested in Adoption Process

How Can I Adopt?
  • Anyone wishing to adopt an animal must go through a screening process to make sure every effort is made to match the family and animal who may be right for each other.
  • You must be 18 years of age or older and have a valid driver's license or picture ID to adopt an animal. 

  • You should also have landlord information available and written permission from the landlord allowing the pet to be allowed at his or her property and notification the pet will be properly housed and maintained.
  • If you pick an animal that has not yet been altered/spayed or neutered, you will need to schedule surgery within 30 days of adoption, or when age appropriate, and provide document of proof to the Shelter of the surgery.
  • McDuffie County has the right to deny any adoption of pets for any reason.
