👉 The Adoption Process

The San Francisco SPCA brings people and animals together. Our goal is a loving home and a lasting bond. We consider important details such as a person’s home, interests and lifestyle. We match those with an animal’s social, exercise and training needs.

Please plan on spending at least one hour for the adoption process. We’re confident that you’ll find it time well spent—and repaid with countless hours of enjoyment.

Adopters must be at least 18 years old and present valid photo ID with proof of current address. We encourage or may require all household members to meet the new dog or cat prior to adoption. If you have a dog and want to adopt another, a dog to dog introduction can be arranged by request. Written landlord approval or proof of home ownership may be required.
