In-person adoption services resumed January 11, 2023, and virtual adoptions are no longer available. ADOPTION PROCESS Search for adoptable pets online at petfinder.com or multcopets.org. Visit the shelter to meet with up to three (3) adoptable animals for ten (10) minutes each during open hours. FOR IN-PERSON ADOPTIONS AT THE SHELTER Individuals who reside in Multnomah County will need to purchase a pet license for dogs or cats at the time of adoption. Adoptions will be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis. Adopters will not be able to submit applications to adopt animals in advance, or place adoption holds on animals. Adopters will be able to meet a maximum of three (3) pets per visit, with ten (10) minutes per pet. We will be unable to assist with pet-to-pet meets. Please keep your furry friends at home, adoptable pets will not be able to meet resident pets at the shelter. This includes dog-to-dog or cat-to-cat meets. MCAS staff will provide resources and guidance for how and when to introduce newly adopted pets at home. Prepare enough time for your visit. Adopters should expect that it may be up to two (2) hours at the shelter to process an adoption, including meeting pets, an adoption consultation, and waiting periods. Wait times may be significantly longer on weekends. Our adoption process, including adoption counseling, will end at 3:30 pm. We encourage you to show up as early as possible. Adopters may continue to browse adoptable pets at the shelter, but the queue for new adoption counseling sessions will close, and new adoptions may not be processed. FOR PETS IN FOSTER CARE Apply online for the pet you are interested in by filling out the online application. Once your application has been received, it will be reviewed, and you will receive automated responses for next steps. Applications will be reviewed on a first come first serve basis. If you are a good match for this pet, you will receive a phone call from either a staff member or the foster parent to discuss the pet, and what your needs are. Once it is determined that you and the pet are a good match, a plan will be made with the foster parent for you to meet the pet. We are currently unable to assist with pet-to-pet meets. Please keep your furry friends at home. If you proceed with the adoption, you will need to complete the adoption agreement online and pay any adoption fees and licensing.
