Adopt a Pet

The Santa Maria Valley Humane Society operates an adoption program for cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies.

Families or individuals who would like to add a pet to their household are encouraged to visit our shelter to see if a cat or dog staying with us will be a good match for their lifestyle and home. After at least one visit to the shelter, if you find there is a pet you would like to bring into your home, potential adopters can fill out an adoption application. When all criteria are met, adopters can take their new cat or dog home with them that same day.

By choosing adoption, not only are you finding a loving companion, but you are also saving a life.

In addition, each and every cat and dog in our adoption program is microchipped and registered to their new owner upon adoption. This service is included as part of the adoption at no additional fee.
