Our adoption application is available online through our website.
We require an application and veterinary reference, to be considered for adoption. Once we have approved your application, we do require an in-person visit (arranged in Brainerd/Baxter, Little Falls, or Staples). We no longer do home checks. If you meet the pet and everything goes well, you will be asked to pay their adoption fee, and sign an adoption contract.
All cats and dogs over six months old are spayed/neutered; puppies and kittens under six months old require a spay/neuter deposit which is refunded if proof of sterilization is returned by the time the pet is seven months old. All canines and felines are vaccinated for rabies (if 12 weeks or older), dewormed, given a flea/tick prevention, and microchipped before going to their new homes.
