Adoption Procedure To maximize the success of an adoption, we strive to help you find a pet that is compatible with your family and lifestyle. Same day adoptions do not occur.

An adoption applicant must be at least 21 years of age and provide picture identification (Illinois drivers license) that states correct address and telephone number. Applicants must live within a 1 1/2 hour drive of the shelter. To complete an adoption, a MINIMUM of 2 visits to the shelter must be made. As there are a limited number of adoption counselors, unless you are the first client to arrive, expect to wait. An adoption application must be completed and reviewed with an HHAS adoption counselor. This takes approximately 30 minutes. All members living in the household must be present during the interview. If there are multiple concurrent applications being processed for any one HHAS pet, it is the right/best match applicant(s) that is selected. If any potential pet matches are identified during the interview, then the applicant(s) will meet those pet(s). If the application for adoption is approved (notification occurs within 2 days), then the prospective adopter(s) are asked to give serious consideration about the decision to adopt and to leave a message as to their decision. Upon decision to adopt, an adoption contract and spay/neuter agreement is executed and the adoption fee is paid. HHAS accepts cash or checks as payment. Adoptive families must be willing to allow an authorized representative of HHAS to make an adoption follow-up(s) either in person or by telephone. All family members should be present at the first interview
