Upper Credit Humane Society
Interested in adopting one of our animals? Here's our procedure.
Applicants are required to come in person, with the entire family, for an interview. If the family includes a dog, bring them with you so we can make sure everyone gets along. We try to match our dog's temperament and age with the family's demographics and lifestyle.
We do not operate on a first come first serve basis. If an applicant is not chosen for the animal they are interested in, but is a suitable candidate for adoption, we will keep the application on file in the hope that we can make a positive match in the future. For breeds at risk, such as Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, and Staffordshire Terriers, we require an in-home visit, which preferably does not exceed a 1-hour commute from our shelter, before an approved application is finalized.)
Unfortunately, we receive too many inquiries regarding specific breeds or sizes to keep track of everyone's requests, so we ask that you to keeping checking the website at www.uppercredit.com to see if we have anything of interest. We try to answer all e-mails, but sometimes the volume overwhelms our resources.
Our adoption fee for a dog is $300.00, which includes vaccines, spay/neuter and microchip. Our adoption fee for a cat is $140.00, which also includes vaccines, spay/neuter, microchip. We also send you home with enough of the pet's food to allow a gradual change to the food you choose to feed them. Special considerations are made for adoptions of senior or special needs companions. Please note that all fees are subject to change without notice.
