Visit the Facility and Find a Pet
We have daily adoption hours (please check our website for holiday changes), and no appointment is required.
Meet the Pet
Walk through the dog and cat adoption areas, and when a pet tugs on your heart strings, we encourage you to speak with an adoption counselor
Submit Application
Tell us about your expectations, wishes and members of your household on our one-page adopter survey.
Interview
Less an "interview" more "conversation." Your adoption counselor will use your adopter survey as a guide and review the pet's file.
Sign Adoption Contract
You'll be asked to show a government-issued photo identification and proof of your address.
Pay Fee
Check out in our Lora Robins Gift shop where essential supplies for your new companion are available for purchase.
Take the Pet Home
You'll take your new companion home the same day. Expert behavior support is available by calling 804-643-7722.
