Shelby’s FAQs

What is Northeast Ohio SPCA’s adoption process?

We are unable to put our shelter pets on hold. For this reason, we recommend in-state adoptions as we cannot guarantee that the animal will still be available if traveling from another state. All adoption applications need to be completed at our facility. To apply, you must have an occupation and reside in a house, condo, apt, etc. that allows pets. Included in the two-page application is a request for two references. Adoption applications are reviewed the day they are submitted and are typically approved the same day. Adopters are able to take their new pet home immediately after the application has been approved. If the potential adopter already has a dog(s) at home, we recommend a meet & greet for all of our shelter pets.
