Frequently Asked Questions:
How much does it cost to adopt a pet from Kitsap Humane Society?
You can view all of our adoption prices listed here!
What does the adoption price cover?
Adoption prices vary based on an animal’s age, size, breed, medical condition, or length of time in the shelter. When you adopt from KHS, your adoption fee helps provide medical care, food, and shelter to the thousands of animals in our care annually.
Pets in our care receive a wellness examination. All dogs and cats in our care receive a spay/neuter surgery, a microchip with national registration, their initial vaccines, and often additional medical care, training, and even time in a foster home depending on their needs. Adopters receive one complimentary office visit through our Veterinary Partnership Program with one of our participating veterinary clinics as well as pet care counseling and support.
Do I need an appointment?
No! We are open for adoptions from noon to 4 pm, and walk-through animal viewing from noon to 5 pm, every day except Tuesday.
Can I bring my family and/or roommates with me to meet the pet?
All members of your household are invited to come to meet with the pet you’re interested in. Some of our dogs will need to meet all members of the householdbefore an adoption can be finalized.
Can I bring my other pet(s) to meet the animal?
For dogs ages 6 months and older, if you have any other dogs in your home, theymust accompany you to the shelter to ensure a good match. If you’re adopting any other animal type, such as a puppy, cat, kitten, or small animal, we are not able to perform introductions at the shelter, so please do not bring your pets with you. Your adoption counselor will go over with you how to do proper introductions between your new pet and resident animals at home.
I have children and/or other pets at home. Can I still adopt?
Absolutely! We do our best to place pets in homes that meet their needs. Some pets thrive with children and other pets, and others don’t. We have so many wonderful pets in our care that needs homes – you are bound to find your perfect match!
I’m interested in adopting, but I’m not sure if I’m ready. Can I foster an animal first?
Of course! While not all pets available for adoption are eligible for foster, if you’re open to fostering an animal in need – our foster program is not only a wonderful way to help pets in need but also to determine if you might be ready for a long-term commitment like adoption. Please visit our foster page for more information.
I found a pet that I love, but I can’t adopt quite yet. Will you hold the pet for me?
Absolutely! Our goal is to find each pet in our care a loving and lasting home in the shortest amount of time possible. If you need some time to make a decision, we will hold your favorite pet for up to 24 hours with a small deposit.
