Adoption Center
Thank you for considering adoption. The Lowell Humane Society takes in approximately 3,000
animals annually. The goal of our adoption program is to match the homeless animals in our care
with the appropriate forever home. Likewise, we are here to help you find the right pet for your
needs. To assist us in the matchmaking process, we have developed guidelines and a simple
adoption process for prospective adopters. Please understand that this process is not intended
to frustrate anyone but to prepare adopters for the life long commitment to their pet. Please click
here for more information about the adoption process.
| Tobby's Fund Established The Lowell Humane Society is proud to announce a new fund to help care for the medical needs of some of the animals surrendered to the shelter.

For more information on Tobby's Fund, the animals that it has helped and how you can help animals like Tobby, please click here. |

animals may need a temporary foster home for a few months, while others may only need a
few weeks. - Kids 4 Paws Volunteers meet the 3rd Sunday of each month. A professional from the
animal care field joins them to teach ways that they can help. Each program runs
approximately 1.5 hours and is FREE. Scout groups are welcome. - Teens helping Pets meet twice a month. They are animal ambassadors who are making a
difference. Along with the Community Outreach Coordinator, they organize their own

Help Adult Cats Find New Homes by Supporting the Dorothy Fund The Dorothy Fund is a program at the Lowell Humane Society that offers incentives to help adult cats find new, loving homes. You can show your support by donating towards the fund or, if you are looking to adopt, taking a closer look at the wonderful qualities an adult cat can offer. For families, the Dorothy Fund will pay $80 towards the adoption of two cats over the age of three. It will also pay half of the adoption fee of any cat over the age of three for any senior citizen. |

Doomis has a heart condition that has made it difficult for him to find a new home. Won't you help him to start the new year off right and find a family of his who can care for his special needs? |
No longer wanted, Chester's mom came to the shelter in July. Within
days, she gave birth to 6 babies. They were raised with cats, dogs
and kids in a foster home. Today, all of Chester's siblings have now
found homes but Chester is still waiting for his family. Chester is an
energetic boy looking for someone with rabbit experience. He has
spent the last 6 months without a home and will need some time to
adjust to a new environment. Take a chance on Chester and you
will be glad you did!
