Adoption Requirements:
The Wake County Animal Care, Control & Adoption Center reserves the right to deny the adoption of any pet for any reason. If you wish to adopt an animal, you must:

• Be at least 18 years of age.
• Have current and verifiable identification.
• Live where pets are permitted.
• Have adoptions completed 15 minutes prior to closing.

 

Things to Consider Before Adopting a New Pet

*If you have other pets at home, it is important for them to be current on all their vaccinations. These will help protect them against any illness your new pet may have that was not apparent at the time of adoption.

• If you have other pets at home, will they get along with a new pet?
• Know your local animal control laws. Some communities have strict leash laws and limit the number of pets you may own. Some communities require licenses for pets.
• Is anyone in your household allergic to animals?
• Have you thought about how an animal may affect your lifestyle? If your lifestyle changes, what will you do with your pet?
• Be sure to select an animal that fits your schedule and exercise routine. Be aware of the time needed to care for a pet.
• Have you considered adoption of an older pet? Some older pets are more suitable, calmer and may be housebroken.
• Do you have supplies for a new pet? Can you make a financial commitment to a new pet for the next 10-20 years? Are you willing to make an emotional commitment to a new pet? Will the pet be a member of the family?
• Choose a veterinarian to provide future medical care for your new pet.
