How To Adopt

We welcome you to come in and tour our facility anytime during our open hours! Please come in, meet our dogs and cats! Ask us for an application at the counter, or print one off the website [below]. Please fill it out as complete as possible! One of the most important parts to the application is the "Vet Reference" section. Please supply us with your current/previous veterinarian and phone number! If you have never had an animal before, please let us know. It would be to your advantage to do some research as to whom you may use. We will be more than happy to give you names of vets in your area. The Livingston County Humane Society does NOT offer vet services. If you are approved, you are welcome to take home a dog or cat that day!

YOU CAN FAX YOUR APPLICATION TO US AT 815-842-0504. That way, we can get you pre-approved before you come in and pick out the animal you want.
