Adopting an Exotic

Adopting an Exotic *Only email versions of the applications are available at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience*

Our adoption process requires you to fill out an interview which helps us determine if you and the animal are a good match.  You will also need to fill out an adoption contract.These forms must be submitted prior to you meeting the animal but do not commit you to the animal for which you are applying.

For the fastest possible response, please be sure to answer all mandatory questions in full, to obtain permission from your landlord for the appropriate animal (if applicable), and to let your references know that a RCHS representative will be contacting them (from a personal phone number, so the number will not show up as RCHS on caller ID).

You may fill these forms out and submit them either via email.

Online applications are currently disabled. Please use email versions on the right side of this page

Submit the appropriate form linked to below.  It includes both the interview and adoption contract.

It typically takes 3-5 business days for us to review your submissions.  Once this is completed we will contact you to schedule a time and place for you to meet the animal. Finally, if you and the animal are determined to be a match you will then be asked to sign a copy of your adoption contract. It is important that you read and understand the adoption contract as it is considered a fully executed contract once signed.

Costs of Adoption

The adoption fees are as follows:

These fees help offset the cost of spay/neutering, vet care, food, supplies and other needs of the animal while in our care.
