Return to Health Department The Kent County Animal Shelter sponsors an Animal Adoption Program to match unwanted animals to appropriate homes and responsible pet owners. Persons wishing to adopt an animal can visit the Animal Shelter kennels and choose from a wide variety of dogs and cats. The kennels are open for pet adoption Monday through Friday from 9:30 am to 12:00 noon, and 2:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. The kennels are closed on Saturday and Sunday, as well as County-observed holidays.

Some animals may be ready to go home with you the day of adoption and others may need to stay a few days to allow us time to get them spayed or neutered. Our skilled counselors are here to help guide you through the adoption process. The Kent County Animal Shelter makes every effort to find responsible adoptive homes for the many homeless pets in our care. Persons wishing to adopt an animal fill out an application and work with our trained counselors to determine what the best match for their family and lifestyle may be.
