How To Adopt
If you see one of our animals you would like more information on, please send us an email at puppyhill@outlook.com or text (352) 756-3522.
The majority of our animals are listed on PetFinder and Adopt-a-Pet, but sometimes some don’t make it to these sites so let us know if you are looking for a specific kind of pet.
We are at Petsmart-Archer Rd in Gainesville, FL every Saturday from 11am to 4pm and some Sundays Noon to 4pm. Adoptions can also be arranged during the week by appointment at our Melrose Center, 8714 State Road 21, Melrose, FL 32666.
The adoption process consists of these steps:
Complete an adoption application. You can fill one out onsite at the event or do it online from our website.
Meet with an adoption counselor, who will help you determine if this is a good match for you, explain our policies, walk you through paperwork, and answer your questions.
The adoption fee for most dogs/puppies is $160 - $300 and $80 - $100 for cats/kittens, but we do sometimes have specials on certain animals. We can take cash, check, or credit cards or online payment with a 5% convenience fee.
We do offer a 30 day trial period so that if the adoption isn’t a good match or doesn’t work out for any reason, we will take the animal back and you can opt to get your adoption fee reimbursed.
In most cases you can take home your new best friend the very same day!
Adoption Application
Submitting a completed adoption application, either online or on paper, does not guarantee the pet will be yours. Our adoptions are always "first come, first serve" -- in other words, animals are adopted out to the first person applying for the animal who successfully completes the adoption process, which includes a screening interview, paperwork and payment. To help ensure you get the pet you want, please come to PetSmart as soon as possible after submitting the form to complete the process.
