Step 1: Determine the pet that is best for your lifestyle.
Browse through the helpful topics at the left and determine what type of pet will best suit your lifestyle. Since your new pet will be with you for many years, this is an important commitment that should not be rushed into!

Step 2: Gather the required forms of identification.
All adoptions require a pictured ID (driver's license, military ID, or official state ID).

Step 3: Select your pet!
All animals are available to be seen at Suffolk Animal Control. (Or you can click here to see our featured pets!) Once you select your pet, Suffolk Animal Control will process your adoption.

Step 4:
See your veterinarian.
Your new pet will want to meet her new veterinarian! During your first vet visit, your veterinarian will help you with a host of questions including integrating your new pet with your existing pets and family
members, what type of food to choose, and to get a more in depth view of your pet's
health and age- or breed-related needs


Adoptions are $60 for cats, $75 for dogs and $25 for all other pets. All cats and dogs are spayed/neutered and vaccinated (dogs - DHP, bordatella & rabies; cats - fvrcp & rabies) prior to adoption.
