- What is your adoption process?
Prospective adopters must submit an application
form. Depending on your home situation
and the pet you would like to adopt, your application may be approved on the spot or
it may require additional review. If we receive multiple applications for a pet,
we consider all homes and select the one that best matches the animal's needs.

- Can you "hold" a pet until I'm ready to take it home?
In most cases we can hold an animal for a week or two, so that you have time to prepare for your new family member.

- Can I adopt if I live outside Culpeper County?
Pets that have been spayed or neutered can be adopted to residents of Virginia and nearby
states. Please note that we are not able to provide transportation for out-of-state adoptions.
Puppies and kittens that are not spayed or neutered (generally those under 6 months of age)
must go to homes in Culpeper and adjacent counties.

- Can you help arrange low-cost spay/neuter for my pets?
Yes! The Humane Society of Culpeper coordinates transportation
of dogs and cats to the Shenandoah
Valley Spay/Neuter Clinic in Harrisonburg, Virginia,
at least once per month. The cost is $35 for male cats, $40 for female cats and male dogs, and $55 for female dogs.
View our spay/neuter clinic
page to see when the next clinic
is scheduled. Pets must meet eligibility
requirements and be pre-registered to participate.

- Can you help find a new home for my pet?
If you are thinking about surrendering your pet, please read working
it out and giving up a pet.
The Humane Society of Culpeper may be able to help you if we have a foster family available. Otherwise, Culpeper residents with questions about surrendering a pet should call the
Culpeper County Animal Shelter at (540) 547-4477.

- How can I volunteer with the Humane Society of Culpeper?
Culpeper's abused and abandoned pets are depending on you to help through a wide variety
of volunteer
opportunities. Devote a few hours on a one-time basis or make a regular
weekly or monthly commitment. You can work directly with the
animals or help with fundraising and publicity projects. Whatever
you do, it's rewarding to know you are making a difference in the lives of
needy dogs and cats. And, it's fun to spend time with others who love animals
as much as you do!

- How can I support the Humane Society of Culpeper?
We welcome you to join, donate,
or volunteer. However
you choose to get involved, you will be giving deserving dogs
and cats a second chance at life.
