Adoption Overview

Ready to adopt?

Here at Suncoast Humane Society, we take our adoptions seriously, but our policies are simple. We have an obligation to see that every animal is adopted into a responsible, loving home.

Please follow the simple steps:

  • Visit our Dogs, Cats, and Pocket Pets pages to see which pets need their Furever Homes. Then come on in and meet one of our matchmakers!
  • Complete an application (be sure to specify the animal you are interested in).

Our adopters
must meet these requirements:

  • 18 years of age
  • Valid ID with name and current address
  • Landlord and/or parental verification
  • Completed Adoption Application

Sarah

I’m Sarah and I’ve had a four-legged best friend since before I could walk! My love for animals has been a constant passion in my life starting at a young age, with foster pets and rescues of my own. Now, I find great joy in helping all animals in need and finding our forever homes for all our pets as an adoption specialist.

Hi, I’m Lezele! I’m a matchmaker with SHS. I have always been passionate about the welfare of both humans and animals alike, and feel strongly about the benefits of animal companionship. Suncoast is the place where I have found all of my dearest, four-legged companions, and I can’t wait to help you find yours, too!
