If you are interested in meeting a CMHS animal, your first step will be to submit our quick adoption interest survey! If you are having trouble submitting your survey, such as it recognizes the phone number but will not let you continue, it is most likely because you are already in our system without an email address or with a different email address. To fix this issue to be able to submit your survey, please email [email protected] so that your new information so that can be updated.

Appointments are preferred in order to meet an animal at the shelter, but we do accommodate walk-in visits when time allows. Our animal housing areas are not open for public walkthrough - you will be escorted by a staff member. We do this to minimize stress levels in our kennels and keep disease spread to a minimum. Keep in mind that most of our cats and small animals are in foster care.

CMHS utilizes a contact-free, mobile checkout! At the time of adoption, you will receive a text prompting you to check out via your cell phone - once staff has received your payment and the signed adoption contract, all paperwork will be emailed to you. This includes your adoption contract, your adoption receipt, your new animal's medical history, as well as our adoption packet which includes coupons to Petsmart and Lizzi & Rocco's and a certificate for a free physical examination which you will have 14 days after adoption to call any of the participating veterinarians to schedule your appointment.

Dogs and cats adopted from CMHS are eligible for pet insurance.
