Pet Adoption Questionnaire | Licking County Humane Society

Potential adopters should visit the shelter to complete the processing of this questionnaire. We will not begin to process this form until then.

Completion of this questionnaire does not hold a pet or guarantee you will be matched with the pet.

NOTE: We do NOT adopt to those living outside of the state of Ohio.

We welcome adopters who rent or live in an apartment or condo. We want to alert you that some landlords and management companies have size and breed restrictions, limits on number of pets, and/or require pet deposits or additional fees. We suggest that you contact your landlord to make sure that the pet you choose is welcome in your complex. Please bring a copy of your lease with you when you come to the shelter and your landlord's contact information.
