Adopting a Dog or Cat

Northwoods Humane Society (NHS) is open for adoptions Monday to Friday 11:00AM to 6:00PM, Saturday and Sunday 12:00PM to 5:00PM.   We are closed on Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.   All of our animals have a set adoption fee.  This fee helps defray the cost of the medical care, labor and other occupancy costs associated with the shelter.   We do not accept checks for adoptions.  We accept cash, credit cards or debit cards.  You do not need an appointment to visit an animal.  Adoptions conclude 15 minutes before closing each day. 

Criteria for Adoption:

NHS strongly recommends a fenced yard for dogs and keeping cats indoors but will evaluate and consider each situation.

When evaluating a pet for adoption, please listen to the advice of staff and volunteers. We want you to have the best match for your family so your new pet is a good fit for your lifestyle. 

NHS reserves the right to refuse an adoption to anyone.

Please do not take the adoption of an animal lightly.  Consider the commitment of time, money and love that comes with owning a pet; a cat or dog could have a life expectancy of 12 to 20 years!
