The VHS is hosting an adopt-a-thon of epic proportions on Friday & Saturday, December 16th & 17th

For the second year, the Vanderburgh Humane Society will be hosting an “Empty the Shelter” event with 100% waived adoption fees on all shelter animals. This includes dogs, cats, and rabbits.

The event will kick off at 10:00 am on Friday, December 16th. VHS will have extended hours on both days, opening early (10:00 am instead of noon) and closing late (8:00 pm instead of the normal 6:00.)

All normal adoption procedures will still be in place.

 

  • All adopters must fill out a 2-page application and provide a valid photo ID
  • VHS Adoption Counselors and/or volunteers help families to choose a pet that is an ideal match for their family based on ages and personalities of family members, living situations, financial situations, other pets in the home, and so on
  • Canine meet & greets and landlord approval (or homeownership verification) will still be required
  • Each adopter will sign a legal binding contract, as they always have, to care for the animal for its lifetime, provide it with veterinary care, and return it to VHS if they should ever be unable to keep it
  • VHS has always and will continue to reserve the right to deny adoptions for any reason.

Anyone age 18 or older can adopt from the Vanderburgh Humane Society, including those from out-of-state. If a person can make the trip to the facility and transport the animal back home with them, they can adopt just as a resident of Evansville can. VHS has no income or residency requirements for almost any of their services.
