Pet Adoptions
 

The Toledo Area Humane Society (TAHS) places thousands of animals in loving, permanent homes each year. It is our goal to help every animal at-risk for abuse or abandonment and to find a home for every healthy, adoptable animal. Each animal receives age-appropriate vaccinations, a health exam, feline leukemia or heartworm test, is spayed or neutered, treated for internal and external parasites, and all of our dogs and cats leave microchipped. Our adoption counselors and shelter staff are trained to help find the companion animal best suited to the personality and lifestyle of each potential adopter.

The adoption process takes about an hour.

We invite you to browse through the Humane Society 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday to look for just the pet for you and your family.

Visit with the dog or cat of your choice in a bonding room for as long as you need while we provide you with any additional information we have about the animal.

Once you find the right companion, you will be required to complete an adoption application and meet with an adoption counselor to ensure your selection is an appropriate match for your lifestyle and family.  
If the animal has already been spayed/neutered you can take your new friend home right then and there; if not, you will be able to take him'her home the next business day.

We have an average of 25 dogs and 100 cats available for adoption each day.

The adoption fee for cats and kittens starts at $50.

The adoption fee for dogs is $100 and up. 

The adoption fee for puppies is $125  and up.

Don't forget to ask about our "Featured Pets" that have reduced adoption fees.
