Chesapeake Humane Society has many adoptable pets looking for their forever homes. We have dogs, cats, and small animals at our Adoption Center located at 1149 New Mill Drive in Chesapeake. How to Adopt a Pet... Step 1: Determine the pet that is best for your lifestyle. Since your new pet will be with you for the rest of its life, this is an important commitment that should not be rushed! If needed, our adoption counselors are happy to guide you and help you find your perfect fit. Step 2: Select your pet and complete the adoption application. Filling out an application does not obligate you to adopt. Submit your application online or at the Humane Society. Step 3: Once your application is approved, we can schedule any additional meet-and-greets (if needed). Step 4: Provide a loving new home for your new addition to the family! We encourage you to keep in touch with us – we love receiving updates and if you ever need advice, we are here to help! Adoption fees and what they include ...
