Adoption Process
The Chemung County SPCA accepts owner surrendered dogs and cats and, space allowing, accepts animals transferred from partner shelters.
The Chemung County SPCA is a great place to visit when considering animal adoption. We will help you find the right pet and help you welcome it into your family, your home, and your heart.
All adoptable pets receive basic health exams, vaccinations, are spayed or neutered and are microchipped. We work hard to know each animal and to help you make a good match.

The Animal Adoption Process
Our pet adoption process is friendly and thorough. The adoption process begins when you visit our animals. Our trained staff and volunteers are always on hand to help you choose a pet that is right for you.
Once you have met your pet, you will complete an application and an adoption counselor will review it with you. The entire process may take an hour or a few days, depending on the animal and your situation. You may complete an application before meeting an animal, which can speed up the process.
