Our Adoption Process:

View our adoptable animals by clicking the button above or by searching for "The Humane Society of Lackawanna County" on PetFinder. We often post our adoptable animals with a description on our Facebook page. Once you have a pet(s) in mind, fill out our online application. Please make sure that all details are filled in on the application. Once your application has been received and processed, someone from our adoptions department will contact you with next steps.

 

Adoption Return Policy:

If for any reason your adoption doesn't work out, we encourage you to return your pet to Griffin Pond Animal Shelter. Please contact the shelter before doing so. Please bring all paperwork given at the time of adoption. Please also note, no adoption fees will be refunded. 

​

Policy on Pet Cosmetic Alterations:

Griffin Pond Animal Shelter's policy is that adopters will not subject adopted pets to any non-medically necessary cosmetic alterations. Such as (but not limited to), ear cropping, de-clawing, tail docking, de-barking, etc. For more information on why de-clawing is never in the cat's best interest, please visit  https://pawproject.org/
