Otter Creek Animal Shelter Adoption Form

If you are interested in adopting a pet from Otter Creek Animal Shelter, please fill out the form below and submit it. We will contact you with further questions and action steps.

  • Our intent is to provide a safe and secure environment for animals in our care, to analyze their health and enhance behavior where applicable and to seek ultimate placement in a forever home which supports each animal's unique requirements.

    In order to be considered for an adoption you must be at least 21 years of age, have knowledge and consent of all adults living in your household, have a valid lD with current address, your landlord's name and phone number (if applicable).

    Understand that your Otter Creek Animal Shelter adoption application must be approved to adopt an animal and we have the right to refuse any adoption.

  • Please list each pet's name, breed, age, sex, spayed or neutered and location kept (inside or outside). (If you have pets in your household that are not fixed or up to date on their annual shots please do not apply until they are.)
  • Please list each pet's name, breed, age, sex, location kept (inside or outside) and the reason you no longer own the pet.

    • 2. Provide human care which includes: giving proper food, water, shelter, exercise & attention.
    • 3. See that a veterinarian gives this pet regular preventative care and immediate medical attention when he/she becomes ill or injured.
    • 4. Not permit the animal to be used for any kind of experimentation.
    • 5. Comply with all state, county, & city laws pertaining to animals.
    • 6. Not hold Otter Creek Animal Shelter responsible for any damages that the animal may do to any person or property.

    No refunds are given for any adoption return unless a medical problem develops within one week (7 days) of the adoption. The animal may then be returned with a veterinarian's written and signed statement regarding the problem with the animal, the adopter may request their adoption fees to be refunded.

    Please make sure you are 100% sure this is the animal for you before you adopt them. lt is very hard on an animal when they are returned.
