Adopt

Adopting a pet from the Parma Animal Shelter can be very rewarding!

We receive feedback all the time telling us how much they love their new pets.

Whether you’re looking for a dog or cat to add to your household, we’re sure that we can pair you with one of our residents who needs a home filled with love.

Visit our Adoptable Dogs or Adoptable Cat pages to begin the process.

An Adoption Agreement must be signed at the time of adoption.  Please read it over carefully.  NOTE: Adoptions are NOT first come, first serve.

Adoption hours are 10-12 noon Saturdays and Sundays and 5-7 pm daily.

🐾 Thinking About Adopting? Here’s What to Know!

Parma Animal Shelter is open for visitors daily from 5–7 PM and Saturdays & Sundays from 10 AM–12 PM. We love meeting new families, and our volunteers are always happy to help you learn more about our animals.

To make your visit smoother, we encourage anyone interested in adopting to submit an application through our website before coming in. Our adoption counselors work hard to match each animal’s personality with the right home, and having an approved application ready helps us focus on finding the best fit for your family.

During your adoption interview, we’ll talk through your lifestyle, expectations, and the animals currently available to help guide you toward a great match. While we can’t guarantee your perfect companion will be in the building that day, we truly appreciate every visit—and new animals arrive almost every week.

Be sure to keep an eye on our Pet Lists online to see who’s available. Your new best friend might be just a click away.  Dog adoption Application  Cat Adoption Application
