My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ben is a happy fellow, but will need some manners training and work to help him out. He's pretty shy upon meeting people and does not like other dogs at all! Not sure about cats as we haven't tested him at this point. Our thoughts is he'll likely try to herd them, but not sure if he likes them. More to come on him as we get to know him!

Their adoption process

1.
Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

Find pets online or in person. We do encourage meet and greets with our pets to see how they fit into your lifestyle.

2.
Submit Application

We also require a vet reference if you have a current one, and 2 personal references, with names and phone numbers to call.

3.
Approve Application

If references check out, you will be approved for adoption.

4.
Take the Pet Home

We have a 2-week trial visit for dogs. We hold your paperwork/adoption fee and you take the dog up to 2 weeks to get to know each other.

5.
Sign Adoption Contract

At any point during the trial visit time, we will final the adoption only after you let us know that "he or she is ours"!

Additional adoption info

Adoption fees for animals at the shelter are $75 for a cat and start at $150 for a dog. This fee includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and distemper shots, worming, flea preventative, heartworm testing for dogs and Feline Leukemia/FIV testing for cats. Please fill out our Adoption Questionnaire to request an appointment to meet our pets.

Being we are a volunteer run program, our animals can have visitors by appointment only, although we will do all we can to work around your schedule.
