    Canine Adoption Application

  • Thank you for your interest in adopting from BCHS!

    This application is designed to help us determine if the adoption is in the best interest of the animal and to assist you in finding an animal most compatible with your lifestyle. We ask that you fill out your application completely and truthfully. We hope you will agree that the animal’s welfare must be our foremost consideration.
  • BCHS will follow up with you after you submit your application. What is your preferred method of communication?*

  • By submitting this application electronically, I acknowledge that I have completely read this questionnaire and comprehend it fully.

    I understand that applying does not ensure approval and that untruthful answers or failure to comply with the requirements of this application can result in the nullification of adoption from Bartholomew County Humane Society.

    I certify that the above information is correct, and I understand that the information will be verified.
