ADOPTION POLICIES

A $100 tax-deductible donation is required to adopt a pet. This donation helps us provide the services we offer and basic medical care for our adoptees.

Kittens and Puppies

  • Shots appropriate to the pet’s age
  • One worming
  • Free spay or neuter certificates that can be taken to one of our participating veterinarians.

Adult Animals

All permanent shots with the exception of rabies. Because rabies vaccinations (required annually by Alabama State Law) provide a tag and certificate made out in the owner’s name, it is best for the new owner to take care of this in case the pet ever becomes lost.

If not already spayed or neutered, the pet comes with a free spay or neuter certificate that can be taken to one of our participating veterinarians.

The Adoption Process

The Alabama Animal Adoption Society’s goal is to place each pet in the right home for that particular animal. To ensure the placement of a pet in the proper home environment, potential owners are interviewed and must fill out an application for adoption. The application asks information that helps us determine whether the home would be the right one for that pet. All applicants must be approved before they adopt a pet.
