KHS ADOPTION APPLICATION

ADOPTION APPLICATION
Thank you for choosing to adopt from the Kitsap Humane Society! To ensure that KHS animals and adopters
are properly matched, we ask that you complete our adoption application before proceeding to a meet and
greet. Animals at KHS are homeless and for that reason, extra care is taken to place them in the best
environments possible. In some cases, an adoption may not be approved based on best interest of the
human or pet. (Please note we do not sell information to third parties. This data is strictly for adoption followups unless otherwise stated).
