Adoption requirements and tips
to speed up the adoption process:
- Please be able to provide a valid photo ID with your current address. (If your ID does not reflect your current address, bring a piece of mail with your name and address on it.)
- Be able to prove that you are allowed to have a pet where you live (proof of home ownership or a copy of your rental lease including the specific pet policy).
- Bring along all members of your household, including dogs, for an introduction to a new dog; however, we do recommend meeting with an adoption counselor before involving children in the pet selection process. To avoid longer wait times, we strongly recommend that dog-to-dog meetings take place after 1 p.m.
- Participate in the adoption counseling process to learn adoption guidelines and adoption options.
- Understand that the SPCA of Wake County reserves the right to deny an adoption.
- You may call 919-772-2326 to speak to a counselor for more information prior to your visit.
