Fond du Lac Humane Society

Adoption Policy

Adoption is important to us! What is even more important is finding the best fit for our adoptable animals. We strive ourselves with finding that “best fit” – this is more important to our humane society then processing numbers. Our adoption goal is to match you with a forever companion that will fit your family and lifestyle.

We accept multiple application on an animal to find that perfect home. Our process is thorough but simple.

The 3 Steps to adoption:

Take a look at our adoptable dogs and cats or visit one at our facility
Fill out an adoption application (Adopt a Dog / Adopt a Cat / Adopt Other Pets)
Once you application is processed, an FDLHS representative will contact you about your application.
You can help to expedite the application process by:

Missing information results in wait time – Please fill out the application completely
If you rent – let your landlord know to expect our call
Let your references know to expect our call
Have your vet prepared to release records of your current pets
Processing Timeline

Applications are processed as they are received – we do not adopt out on a first come first serve basis. Each application timeline is different depending on the time-frame we are able to get a hold of references, landlords, veterinarians, etc. If you have questions during this process please contact us.
