How to Meet Our Pets

The first step is to view the adoptable pets online https://cthumane.org/all-adoptable-pets/, then come in to complete an in-person adoption questionnaire.
Once you’ve submitted your questionnaire, adoption counselors will help you match your lifestyle and preferences to the right pet. CHS staff and volunteers spend lots of time with the pets—learning their likes and dislikes, about their personalities and little quirks, the medical care they’ve received and so much more. That means you’ll get lots of information on available pets to help find the best match. If it seems like love is in the air, you will also have a chance to meet the pet.

If you and the pet are a match, you’ll complete your adoption paperwork, review the contract and documentation, and head home together! If it turns out that the pet you are interested in is not the right fit for you, adoption counselors will chat with you to determine if there are other pets available that might be a better match.
