How You Can HelpDog Adoption Survey

Dog Adoption Survey

Our adoption survey gathers information about your expectations of having a pet and helps your adoption counselor suggest pets who might best suit your lifestyle. We will keep your survey on file for up to one month.

Complete our adopter survey before you arrive at the Richmond SPCA, and you’ll be on your way to meeting your match! Upon your arrival at our adoption center, let your adoption counselor know that you’ve already completed this survey online and we will download your responses.
