What if I am out of state and can't come in person?
We require that all adopters spend time with their pet of choice and complete all paperwork connected to the legal ownership of the pet. Our in-person process supports the responsibility that we must confirm the legal adopter’s identity for the pet’s safety as well as the match suitability for the adopter themselves. If you are not able to meet our requirements, we highly encourage you contact local shelters in your area. We thank you for considering adoption as your first option for getting a new companion animal.
