Adoption Application

For those interested in adopting, you may fill out the online Adoption Application ahead of time, or come into the shelter during adoption hours to complete your application. Completing an application does not place a "hold" on an animal, nor is it a guarantee of adoption. You will not be contacted after submitting an online application.

Our Adoption hours are:

  • Tuesday - Friday, 12:00 - 6:30pm
  • Saturday & Sunday, 11:00am - 4:30pm

If you come in at the end of the day, you may need to complete your adoption process the following day.

All customers are handled on a "first come, first served" basis. We invite you to come into the shelter to meet with a staff member who will tell you everything we know regarding an animal's history, health, the results of our temperament evaluation, and our recommendations for its placement. This process will help you decide if the animal you are interested in is a good choice for your lifestyle and home environment. We look forward to meeting you to help you find your next furry family member.

Pets marked on our website as “Off Site” are currently in a foster home. To inquire about, or arrange to meet any of these pets, please contact us at 630-323-5630.

Following is our adoption process:

  1. Review our Adoptable Animals pages to find an animal who will be a good fit for your family. Our Adoptable Animal page is kept up to date as animals are adopted out, are put on hold, or become ready to be adopted.
  2. Complete an online adoption application below, or when you arrive at our facility. Please complete only ONE application.
  3. Please come in and see our adoptable animals. If you find one that interests you, our counselors will guide you through the process. An application must be on file prior to meeting.
  4. Adoptions are handled on a first-come, first-served basis to provide complete fairness to all adopters. 

Please fill out this form as completely as possible. Information on this form is for Hinsdale Humane Society use only.
