The Adoption Process
At HSSW, you'll find a variety of dogs, cats, and rabbits just waiting for a family like you. Please review the information below to learn more about our adoption process.
Step One: Viewing the Animals
Animals can be viewed online or during regular hours, Tues-Sun, Noon-6:00 pm. Families arriving to view adoptable animals are asked to sign in at the adoption counter and may then proceed to the adoptable animal spaces. If you already know the animal(s) you would like to meet, you may proceed directly to the adoption counter for the next available adoption counselor.
Step Two: Meeting the Animals
You may request to meet up to two dogs or cats during their visit. Adoption socials are coordinated by HSSW staff and volunteers. Adoptable dogs (excluding puppies) will need to meet all individuals and other dogs who live in the adopter's household.
Step Three: Submitting an Application
If you're ready to adopt, the final step is to complete an application. An adoption counselor will be available to assist with any additional questions you may have as you finalize your adoption.

It's our way of thanking those who have sacrificed. Every day, active-duty and veterans of US Military service receive 10% off adoption fees.
Pets Available for Rehoming
Rehoming services help pets find new homes without entering the shelter. To support rehoming in our community, HSSW is proud to partner with Home to Home. See a listing of pets currently seeking new homes in our community on our Home to Home listing.
Please note: the animals listed on Home to Home are not resident animals at HSSW. To adopt a pet listed with Home to Home, you must first register and then may contact the pet's owner to learn more. We are unable to provide any additional information or facilitate adoptions for pets listed on Home to Home.
