Adopting your new best friend is easy! Many adoptions can be completed in as little as one hour!
Step 1: Submit an adoption application and wait for approval.
Step 2: Meet your match. If you don't already have a pet in mind, our Adoption Counselors will help you find one that fits your lifestyle.
Step 3: Speak with an Adoption Counselor about your new pet, the responsibilities of pet ownership, and ask any questions you may have.
Step 4: Finalize your adoption by completing paperwork, paying the adoption fee, and taking home your new companion, along with their medical records and an Adoption Kit.
To adopt from the Galveston Island Humane Society, you must:
Be at least 18 years old.
Present a valid U.S. government-issued photo ID.
Be permitted to have a pet where you live.
Be able to provide the time, care, training, and financial resources your pet will need.
Bring all household members (including children) to meet your new pet. If adopting a dog, please bring any resident dogs for a meet-and-greet.
Be able to take your pet home the day of adoption, if they are ready.
Spend up to one hour with an Adoption Counselor during the adoption process.
Have any resident pets spayed or neutered before adopting.
*We understand there are some responsible reasons why you might choose to not spay or neuter your pet. If that is the case in your home, please bring along the related veterinary records and ask to speak to a manager who will help determine whether we are able to approve your application to adopt.

About This Dog
Meet Velcro Violet! This 2-yr-old pittie mix has some rather strong feelings about togetherness. To her, space is the place where rocket ships go, not something that belongs between herself and the humans she loves. This can seem a bit stifling, but it's the product of a life spent not …
What WeRescue Scout knows about Violet
A quiet, loving home where Violet can be a constant companion and feel safe and secure. She’d thrive with people who enjoy relaxed, low-stimulus days and are ready to offer her plenty of affection and reassurance.
Good to know
- Heartworm positive – requires ongoing medical management.
- Highly dependent on human companionship; not suited for homes where she’ll be left alone for long periods.
- Dog-selective – may not get along with all other dogs; best in a single-pet home or with a calm, compatible dog.

Galveston Island Humane Society
Animal ShelterGalveston Island Humane Society began as the Galveston Animal Shelter and Adoption Center in 1981. Since its inception, our 501(c)3 organization has served as the only shelter on Galveston Island. We are a coastal open-intake facility that supports not only our local community, but the influx of pets during high-volume tourist seasons. While not a municipal shelter, we are contracted with the City of Galveston Marshal's Animal Services Unit. We house strays, surrenders, court-ordered seizures, pets of arrested owners, wildlife (for transport), and are a licensed animal quarantine facility.
