Additional adoption info

We believe in the love of meeting a pet in person! We no longer accept online applications. One of the first steps is to visit our shelter during open business hours, speak to a staff member about meeting the pet you’re interested in, and then submit an application. See our adoption fees and FAQ at https://gmhumanesociety.org/adopt/
