Lane County Animal Services has many adoptable animals waiting for their forever home.  When you are thinking of adding a new member to your family please check with your local shelter first and give these lost animals a place to call home.

Are You Ready to Adopt?
You have decided there is room in your home and in your heart for a new pet.  Being a pet owner is extremely rewarding.  It's also a responsibility.  Before you adopt, make sure you have the time to be a good pet parent.  Animals need exercise and training. Choosing the right pet for your family and home is key to ensuring it's the right match!

Adoption Procedures
Look through the kennel to see if you find a pet that interests you.  You can also look online by clicking here to see a list of animals currently in our care.

If you find an animal you are interested in, talk with the kennel staff about the animal's personality and have them take the animal out of the kennel for a closer look.

Fill out an application, receive approval from kennel staff, and take the application to the front counter for processing.

• If you rent, you will need written approval from your landlord giving you permission to adopt that specific animal.
• All family members must approve of the animal of your choice.
• If you are interested in a dog adoption and already own other dogs, you must show proof of a current rabies vaccine, current license and complete a successful dog visit.
• It is a zoning violation in the City of Eugene to have more than three dogs permanently living at any one residence.
• If you live in the unincorporated area of Lane County and own more than two dogs, you have the option of purchasing a non-commerical kennel license, or you may choose to license your dogs individually.

Once you have filled out your application and turn it in to the front office staff, you will have one business day to complete the application requirements and make payment.

You can begin the adoption process immediately upon the animal's arrival at the shelter although it may not be available for release until a few days later.

Choosing the Right Pet
for your family and home is key to ensuring it's the right match!  What type of animal would work right for your lifestyle?

High Energy - Loves to play, go for walks and learn new things.  Will need daily interaction and activities.

Medium Energy - Will need mild daily interaction and low activity.

Low Energy - A couch potato that will need daily interaction and low activity.
Outgoing - The life of the party and full of surprises.  Makes friends with new people easily.

Shy - Needs gentle guidance to help warm up to new people and/or things.

Independent - A free spirit and I like to make my own decisions.  Teach me some tricks and I will shine.

LCAS impounds over 2,000 animals each year.  With the support of the community we are able to save the lives of the many adoptable animals that enter our shelter.  Think adoption first!

Remember to Love, License and Spay/Neuter Your Pet!
