Application for Adoption

Adoption guidelines

Unaltered babies under the age of six months can be adopted only to residents of Campbell County, the City of Lynchburg, and counties touching Campbell County.

Unaltered adult pets six months or older will need to be sterilized before they can be adopted outside our local area of Campbell County, the City of Lynchburg, or counties touching Campbell.

We do not promote dog adoptions to homes where an invisible fence is the fencing of choice.

We do not permit cats or kittens to be declawed following adoption.

We place calls to your vet, your landlord, and your personal reference. We ask that the pets in your home be current with rabies vaccines, spay/neutered, and seen by a veterinarian for wellness.

If you rent, your landlord must give permission to adopt.

Resident pets must be spayed/neutered (if old enough) and must be current with a rabies vaccine unless there is a medical reason not to be.
