Every shelter has its own way of doing things. We believe that every adopter is a good adopter. There is no judgment in our shelter – only a drive to make sure you have the right pet for your lifestyle and situation.
Of course, we need to have some basic guidelines. To be considered, you must:
Your family is unique and so are the animals at Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter. There are many things to consider when choosing the right pet for you. We ask that all members of the household be present. That’s why we require that any/all children in the household be present. If you have a dog and are adopting another, you must bring him/her in for a meet & greet. No one knows our animals better than us, and we will do our very best to create the perfect pet match for you.
Senior pets (8 years and over) are 50% off the adult adoption fee.
The shelter accepts walk-ins only during regular adoption hours. (Monday-Friday 12 pm to 4 pm, Saturday-Sunday 12 pm to 5 pm). All candidates will complete an interview process to ensure a good match.
To save time, please complete the questionnaire found on the Find a Dog or Puppy or Find a Cat or Kitten page before you visit the shelter. Note, your questionnaire will be on file when you come to the shelter, we do not call applicants. Completing an online questionnaire does not guarantee placement of, nor hold, any animal.
If you plan to bring another canine to the shelter to conduct a “meet and greet” with one of our shelter pets, please call ahead so we can make proper arrangements for the meeting.
THANK YOU for your Service to our country. Mt. Pleasant is proud to offer an ongoing 50% discount on all adoption fees for current Service Members and Military Veterans.
