When adopting a pet from the SPCA, you must complete and sign an Adoption Contract. Two of the most important requirements you must agree to are:

  • To take your new pet to a veterinarian for a check-up

The adoption process takes two to seven days. The SPCA reserves the right to decline any adoption request.
