Adopting from Monadnock Humane Society

Adoption process

Adopters must be at least 18 years old and meet with an adoption counselor to discuss their household and pet preferences; a non-refundable $25 deposit places a hold on a chosen pet, dog-to-dog meet-and-greets are required when adding a dog to a home with an existing dog, and pets are adopted on a first-come, first-served basis.
