Adopt

Thank you for considering adopting from the Kewanee Animal Shelter!
​

We do our best to match adopters with the dog or cat that would be best suited to their family situation and lifestyle.

Here is how our adoption process works:
  1. You can learn about our adoptable pets either from our website list or you can visit the shelter during our open hours to see the dogs and cats in person.
  2. Complete an Adoption Application when you visit the shelter or save time and fill out an application before you arrive!
  3. Once at the shelter, one of our staffers or volunteers will lead you to where you can see the dogs and cats.
  4. If you find any animal you're interested in, one of our friendly staff members or volunteers will introduce you personally to the animal so you can get to know each other.
    • We ask that all members of the household where the animal will reside meet the animal.  This includes non-human members too! Don't worry if you're not all there at once; we can work around busy schedules to set up additional meetings!
  5. If you'd like to proceed with an adoption, your application will be reviewed and we will discuss whether the animal is well suited for your household.  Once you have been approved, the animal will be placed on a 24-hour hold so you carefully think about your decision overnight.
  6. If you decide you want to proceed with the adoption, we'll get the paperwork started!
