Pet Adoption Process
Thank you for deciding to add a new member to your family and provide a loving home to an animal in need. Adopting a pet is exciting, but it is also a big decision that requires careful thought and consideration. Lake of the Woods Humane Society will work directly with you, the perspective adopter, in order to help you find the perfect pet for your family. We want each of our animals to find the RIGHT home, not just ANY home.
Research has shown that some are reluctant to visit animal shelters. Many people find it easier to choose a pet in the comfort of their own home or may be a considerable distance from our shelter. This comfortable environment facilitates adoptions to those who may not have considered a shelter animal, while raising community awareness. Please visit "Our Adoptables" and find your new family member today.
Any perspective adopter must fill out an adoption application that will be reviewed by our approval volunteers. If you would like your adoption application to be reviewed prior to visiting the shelter simply visit our adoption application link and submit it online at www.lakeofthewoodshumanesociety.com.
If a specific pet is requested for consideration the perspective adopter understands that additional requirements may be necessary to be approved based on the animal's specific needs and history. Please understand that our organization is completely run by unpaid volunteers, who dedicate their free time to help the animals find their loving forever homes. We strive to make the adoption process quick, easy, and fun!
We provide as much information on each animal's history, disposition and health as we can. Once approved a contract must be signed by you and LOW Humane Society, transferring ownership to you. A $75.00 adoption fee for dogs and $100.00 puppies and $35.00-50.00 for cats and kittens is due prior to adoption.
