Adoption
Adopters will complete an application, interview, and undergo a court background check. Adoption fees for kittens are $50, plus a $25 deposit if they are not spayed or neutered. Adoption fees for cats over one year is $35.
Dogs and cats available for adoption through Animal Haven have current vaccination record(s) and certification of spay or neuter.
After filling out an application for the pet you are interesting in meeting (via our “Available Pets” link at the top of our website), we will reach out to set up an appointment for you. After meeting the pet and determining whether or not you decide to adopt, you'll pay the adoption fee and will receive all vet records and vaccination information available. In most cases, you can take your new pet home on the same day!*
If you have any questions about our adoption process, email us at ahrbc2017@gmail.com.
*There may be instances where the pet is pending medical treatment, vet visit, etc. and cannot be released for adoption on the actual adoption date.

Animals are dewormed, treated for fleas, examined by a vet, vaccinated, and if old enough spayed or neutered.
Can I reserve an animal before they are ready to be adopted out?
You can apply to adopt an animal before they are ready for adoption. Adoptions are on a first come, first serve basis. We do not hold animals without an approved adoption application on file.
What if I adopt an animal and it doesn't work out?
We will take back any animal adopted from us. Adopters just need to contact us. There may be a short wait time until space is available in a foster home, but we will try to accommodate a return as quickly as possible.
Can I meet the animal ahead of time?
Available animals will be at our regular adoption events at PetSmart on 23rd Street. Potential adopters can schedule an appointment to meet available animals by using the Chat button on the website, or emailing us at ahrbc2017@gmail.com.
What do I need to bring with me when picking up my pet?
You will need a secure carrier to transport the animal home.
If I decide to return my animal or change my mind prior to adoption pickup day, will I get a refund?
Adoption fees will be refunded for animals who have been adopted less than a year. If an animal needs to be returned after a year, we will take the animal back, but the adoption fee will not be refunded at that point.
How do I get the medical records for an animal I adopted?
Medical records will be emailed to you.
