Adoption Process
Thank you for your interest in bringing home a new “fur-ever” friend! We’re glad you’re here. While all of the dogs, cats, and small animals in our shelter receive excellent care, what they truly need is a loving family and a place to call home.
All of our adoptable animals are up-to-date on all age appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, de-wormed, de-flea and microchipped before adoptions are finalized. All dogs over six months of age receive a temperament assessment by our Certified Professional Dog Trainer to ensure appropriate placement. Also, many animals in our care receive basic obedience training to improve manners and increase adoptability.
Meeting Your Pet is easy as 1-2-3
Drop in anytime during our adoption hours: 11 am – 6 pm on weekdays or 11 am – 5 pm on weekends. If you have questions about any of our animals, contact us by phone at (234) 212-9843 or email at adoptions@summithumane.org, and an adoption counselor will return your message.
