Gift Adoptions
The bond between a family and pet is unique to each situation, taking time and thoughtful selection. Because of this, RCHS does not support the practice of giving animals as surprise gifts and will not adopt an animal out as such. Our experience has repeatedly shown that the best and most long-lasting matches between animals and their adopters occur when the adopter is fully involved in the process. If you are interested in paying the adoption fee for a friend or family member, we do offer gift certificates that can be presented as a surprise (all of our regular adoption guidelines will still apply).
