Why the Humane Society Is a Great Adoption Option

The Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County is a great place to go when you are looking to adopt a pet. We have an excellent selection of adult animals available for adoption.

You can depend on our staff to responsibly screen our animals for sound health and temperament. When we receive an animal, the Humane Society staff makes every attempt to collect a thorough history of that pet. Then, while caring for these animals, staff and volunteers try to learn as much as they can about each pets behavior, training, temperament and any special needs.

Do not be discouraged if, when you first visit the Humane Society, there are no animals of the breed or type you want. The Humane Society receives new animals every week. Before choosing your pet, you can even speak with an adoption counselor about whether your choice of a particular type or breed will be best for you.

Other advantages of adopting from us are our support services. We provide adoption counseling and follow-up behavior counseling.

Another advantage is our adoption fees, which are much less than an animals purchase price at a pet store or breeder. And your new pet will be vaccinated, De-wormed, microchipped and spayed or neutered if it comes from us.

If you are serious about adopting a dog or cat, talk to us first. We are a great place to start. Check out our adoption-ready pets online.
