Adoption Process

To adopt a pet from Marin Humane, please follow these steps: 1. Explore available animals on our website or visit our shelter to meet them in person. 2. Once you find a pet you are interested in, complete an adoption application. This can be done online or at the shelter. 3. After submitting your application, a staff member will review it and may contact you for further discussion about your application and the pet. 4. If your application is approved, you will schedule a time to meet the pet. This meeting will help ensure a good match between you and the animal. 5. If both you and the pet are a good fit, you can finalize the adoption. This process includes signing an adoption agreement and paying the adoption fee, which helps support the care of our animals. 6. Finally, you will receive information on the pet’s history, health, and care needs, along with guidance on what to expect during the transition period. We appreciate your interest in adopting and providing a loving home to a pet in need. Please feel free to reach out to our team if you have any questions.
