Don't confuse Casper for an old cat because of her age! She's a kitten at heart who loves to play and explore. Her curiosity and sense of adventure leads her to follow her humans around to see what they're up to and join in when possible. Her favorite pasttimes are looking out the window, drinking from the pet fountain, and getting scratches under her chin. She enjoys being cuddled here and there but she'll let you know when she's ready to hide in a box. She did great with older kids (10+) but might not put up with the antics of a toddler. While she tolerated the cat and dog in her foster home, she can be a bit of a diva and would thrive as the center of attention in her new home. Casper is a sweet girl who is looking for someone to take her on her next adventure. Will it be with you?!

When you come in to the Humane Society of Utah (HSU) to adopt a pet, you will first be allowed to walk through our dog areas (Tiny Town and Dawgville), cat area (Kitty City), rabbit area (Bunny Bungalows), and small animal area (Rodent Ranch). If you're not quite sure what type of pet will best fit your lifestyle, just ask one of our friendly Adoption team members to recommend one for you—they'll be happy to help!
When looking to adopt, please bring the whole family and make the choice of a pet together. If you are adopting a second dog, you may bring your other dog to the shelter so that our staff can conduct an introduction to make sure they get along. Or, we'll be happy to discuss techniques to introduce your new pet at your home.
If you decide that you want to adopt, you will need to fill out an Adoption Profile with an Adoption team member to ensure that you and the animal will make a good match. Following approval, you will pay the adoption fee and receive some information about your new pet.
To save some time, you are welcome to download, print and complete the Adoption Profile at home. Be sure to bring the paperwork with you when you come to our shelter. Profiles cannot be accepted by email, fax or mail.

Founded in 1960, the Humane Society of Utah (HSU) has always fostered an atmosphere of love, compassion, and respect for Utah’s pets and is dedicated to the elimination of pain, fear, and suffering in all animals. We work hard to ensure that every healthy and treatable pet that enters our facility will be placed into a loving home. There is no set limit on the length of time an animal may remain in our adoption program.
HSU is an open-admission shelter, meaning that our doors are always open for any animal that we can legally accept. In 2014, an expansion and renovation project was completed which allowed the HSU to save more pets than ever before. Through an education-focused adoption process, positive promotion of shelter pets, and our many other programs and services, even more animals are expected to be saved in the future.
