Adoption Guidelines
- You must be 18 years of age or older.
- You must live in a residence that allows pets.
- The pet you have chosen must fit within any weight requirements your landlord or community may have. (Remember, puppies get bigger!)
- If you already own animals, they must be up-to-date on their rabies vaccines and county licenses.
- Although Marion County doesn’t have a law limiting the number of pets allowed in a home, Animal Services will not adopt out more than two domestic animals at one time and will not adapt to a household that already owns six or more domestic pets.
- You must provide a current driver’s license or state-issued identification.
- You can not currently be in violation of the animal control ordinance and you can not have had any serious animal control ordinance violations in the past.
