Application for Adoption

The animals available for adoption often come to us as strays or from neglectful situations. In most cases, we do not have any health or temperament background on the animal therefore, we cannot guarantee the health or temperament of the animal. All animals are examined and treated as needed upon entry, and their health is routinely monitored while with us. Our mission is to give each animal the best possible chance at a loving, permanent home.

In order to be considered as an adopter, you must:
-Have identification showing your present address and proof of age. (21 or older)
-Allow ICHS Staff to contact your landlord, if applicable
-Allow ICHS Staff to contact your veterinarian and give permission for them to release information regarding the health of your pets, if applicable.
-Agree to PA Sterilization Guidelines for spaying/neutering the animal(s).
-Agree to follow-up visitations after adoption.
-Be able and willing to spend the time/money necessary for training, routine medical care (health checks/yearly vaccines), proper nutrition and exercise for a pet.

Please Note: We cannot “hold” animals. All adoptions are on a first-come, first-serve basis pending application approval and the ICHS Staff Adoption Counselor’s recommendations. ICHS reserves the right to deny any application.
