Who you’ll need to bring
- The adopter – When adopting a pet from Verde Valley Humane Society, you need to be the pet’s new owner. It is important for people to choose a pet that fits their own lifestyle and preferences, so we do not adopt out pets as gifts. If you want to initiate an adoption for someone else, please contact us and we will find a way to help.
- Family members – It’s important that the pet you’re adopting fits in with your family, so we recommend you bring your family members with you. If you’re looking to add another dog, call for an appointment for a “meet and greet” to be sure it’s a good fit.
What to expect
The process is simple. Our experienced staff and volunteers know our pets best, and they’ll help you find the perfect pet for your family and your lifestyle. Then you’ll sit down at the front desk with a staff member who’ll need some basic information and supply you with resources you may need. It’s simple and only takes a few minutes. Then you’ll pay the adoption fee, get your picture taken with your new family member, and you’ll be on your way.
All pets leaving our shelter have:
- Been spayed or neutered
- Received age-appropriate vaccinations
- Received flea/tick treatment and de-worming
- Been Microchipped
Dogs will be provided temporary leashes. Cats being adopted must leave in carriers, but we can provide temporary carriers for just $5.

Local Veterinarians
We encourage all pet adopters and pet owners to have a local vet. Here’s a list of veterinarians in the Verde Valley. Note that the closest Emergency Veterinary services are located in Flagstaff and Prescott Valley.
Dog Licensing
Dog licenses and dog tags are important. They are also the law. A lost dog with a tag can quickly be returned to owners. Licenses are generally required for all dogs over 3 months of age.
