Pet Adoption Application Form

The Lewis County Humane Society believes pet ownership is a serious responsibility and a lifelong commitment. Our goal is to place animals in the best possible home where each adoptive person realizes the obligation to the animals. You must complete this application and be willing to answer specific questions about your lifestyle and personality. The Lewis County Humane Society has the right to refuse any adoption.
