Fayette Humane Society Dog/Puppy Pre-Adopt Questionnaire

Fayette Humane Society is pleased that you are interested in adopting a pet! Anyone interested in adopting a dog from the Fayette Humane Society must complete a pre adopt form, although it's completion does not guarantee an adoption.  Because we want adoptions to last for the animal's lifetime, this is merely a tool to help us match the right companion pet with the right family. The information you provide will assist us in making the right choice. A home visit may be required prior to adoption.  Owning a pet is a long-term commitment. Please consider that puppies will soon grow into DOGS and may require a fenced yard.  All puppies are already spayed or neutered, or arrangements are made for the surgery. Pets have age-appropriate tests and vaccinations. Additional booster shots will be required for puppies. There is a $130 adoption fee for puppies/dogs. Please keep in mind that there may be several parties interested in the same dog, and completing the pre-adopt form does not guarantee adoption.

If you are interested in a particular dog or puppy, it would be best to fill out the online application and someone will contact you soon. If you think you want a cat/kitten but want to come see them at our adoption site first, print and fill out the Pre-Adopt application and bring it with you to save time!
