You must be 21+ to adopt. If you are younger, please have a friend or family member "co-sponsor" your application.
We request a $5 processing fee to review your information. This does NOT guarantee an adoption, but it ensures everyone's information will be reviewed. This fee also ensures that our time goes toward either adopting an animal or raising funds for them- the only two things we have time for.
If you are initially approved, you will be asked to provide more information in the form of a "virtual home visit"- pictures of the front of your home, interior- where the pet will live, yard, and a piece of mail corroborating your address.
If you'd like to learn more about the application or see an example of it, please click here.
If you have any questions or have trouble with the application, please email adopt@motleyzoo.org. We will be happy to help you!
We recognize technology is not easy for everyone- nor does it always work properly. But we need to use it- so just ask if you need support.
