We will be in touch with all applicants no matter what – so if you haven’t received a call yet, we are still processing the applications! Here are the next steps if you are approvedĭogs: If the adoption is approved for a dog, we will send you the medical report and connect you with the foster family. If your references have not been contacted yet and you’re concerned that your application was not received, then please contact with your full name and the animal you had applied for and we will let you know. Inquiries about the status of applications delays processing time overall. If you no longer see the animal you have applied for on our website, it is because we have received a high number of applicants for that animal and we are just trying to catch up on all of the applications. We anticipate that it could take 1-2 weeks for us to catch up on all of the applications we’ve received for a variety of animals, and are working as quickly as we can. Application processing time will take longer than normal due to the record number of animals in care. Once you have submitted your application, staff will begin processing. If you’re having difficulties filling out the online application, please email or call at 61 ext.

Weekdays (Monday-Friday, CLOSED TUESDAYS).The visitation hours onsite are as follows: We will also have reduced hours for visitation to allow our animals time to rest. Now that our doors are open, we will have some animals onsite for viewing, but NOT all. This transition from having majority of animals onsite to majority of animals in foster homes has improved the well-being of our animals immensely, and the success of adoptions has only increased! We do this in order to not overwhelm our incredible foster families or the animals. Since over 90% of our animals are in foster homes, we had to make further adjustments to our adoption process by posting all of our available animals on our website and requiring an approved application prior to connecting individuals with foster homes or scheduling meet and greets. Our foster program grew immensely to allow for animals to be out of the shelter environment and be in a home setting. Although our doors shut back in March of 2020, our animal intakes did not stop, and therefore we had to adapt. Thank you for your interest in adopting with the Kingston Humane Society! Since COVID, the Kingston Humane Society has had to make a lot of adjustments (just like the rest of the world!).
