Additional adoption info
Persons wishing to adopt an animal can visit the Animal Shelter kennels and choose from a wide variety of dogs and cats.
Adopting an animal from the Kent County Animal Shelter is a rewarding experience! Some animals may be ready to go home with you the day of adoption and others may need to stay a few days to allow us time to get them spayed or neutered. Our skilled counselors are here to help guide you through the adoption process.
