Adopting a Pet from SBARC


I saw a dog or cat on SBARC's website and Petfinder that I am interested in adopting.  You can apply at this link (southbendin.gov/adoptapet)



How do I adopt a pet from SBARC?

If you are interested in adopting a pet from South Bend Animal Resource Center, you must first fill out an adoption application. You can apply online.  Adoption applications take 24-48 hours to process. The applicant will be emailed or called when approved to schedule a meet and greet with the animal.

All animals are fully vetted with all current vaccinations, spay/neuter and a microchip.


Who can adopt from SBARC?

Anyone can apply to adopt a pet from SBARC; applicants from other states can also apply. SBARC does require the adopter to meet with the animal they wish to adopt before taking the animal home.  


How can I turn in my adoption application?

Applications may be submitted online or you can call 311.


How much are adoption fees?

Watch for adoption fee specials throughout the year!

  • $85 for dogs over 6 months and older
  • $100 for dogs 5 months and younger
  • $35 for cats
