Each year, thousands of people make the decision to adopt a pet. These pets have been abandoned or given up by their previous owners, and are looking for a new family to be a part of. By choosing to adopt a pet, one is making the decision to take complete responsibility for that pet’s health and well-being. Pet adoption should not be looked upon lightly, as it is a serious responsibility for a prospective adoptive pet owner.

For those interested in adopting a pet, there are many places where pets that are available for adoption can be found. A few of the most popular places are animal shelters, rescue groups, newspaper ads, and online pet adoption agencies. In most cases, an animal that is available for adoption has had a routine health check, and has received any necessary shots and vaccines. Many shelters and pet adoption facilities also spay or neuter the animals before they are ready for adoption. This is done to prevent the animals from producing additional offspring that could then be abandoned and end up in a shelter or rescue group.

In order to adopt a pet, an animal shelter or adoption facility may require the person to provide certain documentation. This can vary depending on the regulations of each specific adoption location. In some places an individual may be required to pay an adoption fee before he or she is allowed to take a new pet home. This fee is usually charged to cover the cost of providing the animal with the necessary shots and sterilization. A new trend in adoption facilities is to implant an identification device in the animal that is being adopted. This allows authorities to determine the owner of an animal if it is found out of captivity. Before allowing an individual or individuals to adopt a pet, some facilities also require proof that the animal will be provided with a suitable home.

Adopting a pet is a great alternative to buying a brand new pet. It gives the animal a new home and a fresh start in life. Adopting an animal also decreases the number of animals that must be euthanized due to a lack of homes for the animals.

Your question is confusing. Did you give your son up for adoption or do you need a copy of the court order finalizing the adoption? For the court order finalizing the adoption, you would get a copy from the court that made the adoption final. You would need to contact that court or county to find out what office handles that. You will pay a fee for a copy. If you gave up your son for adoption, you have a more difficult job.
