Thank you for visiting the Cherryland Humane Society's Animal Shelter and Adoption, Education and Conference Center.

As you can see, we take great pride in maintaining a clean, fresh-smelling, disease-free environment for our homeless cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies as they await placement into permanent, loving homes. Should you notice anything requiring our attention, please notify any of our employees immediately.

Potential adopters are required to participate in an interview process before adopting. During this interview, we will help you determine the type of animal which will best suit your needs.

There are occasions when the needs of a particular animal cannot be met by interested adopters (e.g. work schedule, age of children, living arrangement, etc.). In such cases, an adoption may be denied. Denial is not a reflection of the prospective adopter's ability to provide a good home for the animal, but is simply based on our goal of finding a home where the animal's individual needs and the needs of the adopter and the adopter's family are compatible.

In order to avoid being disappointed, if you are hoping to adopt a dog or puppy, please refer to our canine classification system. Answering just a few questions about your particular situation will help you avoid choosing an animal that is not well suited to you.

If you cannot find the perfect animal at this time, please ask our receptionist to enter your information into our computer. You will be put on an adoption waiting list and we will contact you when the type of pet you are hoping to adopt arrives at our shelter. You may also check our online cat and dog databases daily for arrivals and updates.

Thank you for supporting the Cherryland Humane Society and for sharing our compassion for the many, many homeless cats, dogs, kittens and puppies that pass through our doors and our hearts every year.
