Adoptions
We understand the fun, excitement and joy of adopting a new pet. The Aurora Animal Shelter is happy to be a part of that experience. If you are looking to adopt, adopters are strongly encouraged to visit the shelter.
Adoptions are all on a first come, first serve basis, no appointments are required. Adopters must be at least 18 years old and have a photo ID.
Please note that our kennels are not available for walk-throughs. However, all available animals are posted on our Adoption Wall and can still be met in person!
All available animals can also be viewed online. Our website updates hourly and is the best way to check if the animal you are interested in is still available for adoption!
Attention Cat Lovers: We utilize several PetSmart and Petco stores in the metro area. If you see a cat on the website there is a chance it could be at one of these locations. Click on the desired cat's photo and the location will be noted in the cat's information IF the cat is at a PetSmart or Petco. If you need assistance in locating where an animal is being housed, please call us and we will be happy to assist you.
