Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Adoption

We do not place holds on animals who are not yet available for adoption. When they become available, they are generally adopted on a first come, first served basis. However, we will place an animal on hold for an approved adopter for up to 24 hours if they need to make arrangements with a landlord or housing complex or to arrange a meet and greet with other family members or dogs in the home.

Post Adoption Support

SICSA is committed to supporting our adopters post-adoption and to preventing pets from ending up in shelters. Our goal is to nurture loving, lifelong relationships between animals and people.
