SHELTER STANDARDS
- An adult must accompany persons under 18.
- Speak with a shelter representative before touching or handling animals.
- When you do visit with an animal, use disinfectant before handling another.
CAT AND DOG ADOPTION POLICIES
- An adopter must be at least 18 years of age.
- Animals are adopted as pets and companions and only secondarily as mousers, watchdogs, etc. No dog is ever placed as a guard or attack dog.
- No animal may be adopted to be given away as a gift except by a guardian for a minor child who lives with the adopter.
- Animals are adopted as house pets and family companions, not as "outside only" pets.
- Animals are adopted to homes where application responses, counselor interview and pet-owning history indicate that they will receive appropriate lifelong care.
- Animals are placed with residents of military housing consistent with these policies and Military Housing Office regulations.
- Animals are adopted to live in a rental residence where pets are welcome and permission is verified. In addition, individuals living with friends or relatives must have the homeowner's consent.
- All dogs are placed in home with an adequate and humane means of confinement.
- All cats and dogs adopted from the Sequoia Humane Society must be sterilized.
- Declawing of cats is opposed by the Sequoia Humane Society. People who want to declaw a cat will be approved only to adopt cats who were declawed prior to entering the shelter.
ADOPTION FEES ARE CONSIDERED DONATIONS AND ARE NON-REFUNDABLE
THE HUMANE SOCIETY RESERVES THE RIGHT NOT TO ADOPT AN ANIMAL INTO A SITUATION THAT WE BELIEVE WOULD BE DANGEROUS (FOR THE PERSON OR THE ANIMAL), IMPERMANENT, OR UNHEALTHY.
ADOPTION COUNSELING
- Please take your time in choosing a pet. Consider the cost of food and health care. The puppy or kitten you take home with you will be an adult soon.
- Can you afford the food and veterinary care?
- Can you take him/her with you when you move?
- Can you provide a LIFETIME home for the animal?
- Do you have the time?
- Is this an impulse decision?
- Do you have enough room?
The staff is available to answer questions and assist you in selecting the right pet for you and your family.
