Adopting a pet is a life-changing experience for both you and the animal you welcome into your home. At Sumter County Animal Services (SCAS), our adoption program is designed to make the process simple, supportive, and rewarding.
Adoption Fees Waived
To remove barriers and encourage more families to adopt, all adoption fees are waived. This means you can focus on providing love and care to your new companion without worrying about upfront costs.
What’s Included with Every Adoption
Every animal adopted from SCAS comes with the following:
- Microchip for lifetime identification
- Spay or neuter surgery to support responsible pet ownership
- Up-to-date vaccinations, including rabies
- A health check and shelter support to help ensure a smooth transition into your home
Hours and Availability
We make it convenient for families to meet and adopt their new pets:
- Adoption appointments: Available 7 days a week, 12 p.m. – 6 p.m., except holidays
- Walk-in adoptions: Available Thursday through Monday, 12 p.m. – 6 p.m.
Foster to Adopt Option
Some animals may not yet be fully ready for adoption due to ongoing medical care, recovery, or other needs. In these cases, they may be placed in a Foster to Adopt arrangement. This allows you to begin caring for the animal right away, with the intent to finalize adoption once they are cleared.
