Thompson River Animal Care Shelter

Adoption Application Form for Dogs and Cats

Thank you for considering the adoption of a shelter animal. Please note that although adoption applications are considered in the order they are received, the pet is not automatically approved for the first request. We try to match pets and people to find the placement that works best for everyone. Additionally, we maintain a list of individuals seeking specific types or breeds of animals and may contact them before considering new requests for a particular animal. All people living in the household should be involved in choosing a pet. The primary caretaker must approve the pet selection in person.

The submission and approval of your home does not guarantee that you will get the animal being considered. You may end up choosing a different animal. The first approved applicant to complete the transaction by paying all required fees and arranging for the pickup of the animal will be the successful adopter. Prepayment of a non-refundable deposit, equal to half of the adoption fee, is an acceptable means to hold a pet. The hold fee is transferable to another pet if a different pet is chosen. Please review our adoption process graphic for additional information. Good luck with your potential adoption!
