Adopt Your Best Friend from the
Humane Society of Greater Miami
/Adopt-A-Pet!

Click here to see our pets for adoption!

The goal of the Humane Society of Greater Miami/Adopt-A-Pet's adoption program is to find a loving, permanent home for each animal in our care. Adopting a pet is a big committment! Are you sure you're ready to:

Keep and care for the pet for his or her entire life (which could last 15 years!)
Take the pet with you each time you move to a new home
Train the pet
Make the pet a member of your family
Be financially responsible for the pet, in sickness and in health


If you are certain that you are willing and able to devote yourself to providing a loving, permanent home for one of our furry friends, please get your whole family together and visit one of our adoption centers. Take your time and visit with several of our pets. If you have found yourself completely in love with one of the pets, an adoption counselor will help you complete an adoption application. Please keep in mind that the verification of information provided within the adoption application may take more than one working day.


When you meet with your adoption counselor, you will be asked to provide:

Proof of current vaccinations and licensing of the other pets in your household, a copy of one of your utility bills, vehicle registration, or voters registration, and written consent from the other adults in the household (or better yet - bring them with you!), AND
If you are a renter, a copy of your lease including the name and address of the landlord, or written consent from your landlord if the pet policy is not included in the lease OR
If you are a homeowner, a copy of your mortgage or a homeowner's insurance statement.
