My story

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

Knox is a handsome, energetic, and bouncy adolescent! Donandamp;#39;t let his size fool you. Beloved by both staff and volunteers, he enjoys spending time on walks around the city, offsite field trip hikes, and trips and the car that get him there! Smart and eager to please, Knox excels with learning new behaviors, such agility, that engage him both mentally and physically. Heandamp;#39;s happiest spending time with his person and would be thrilled to meet you!

Their adoption process

1.
Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

We have daily adoption hours (please check our website for holiday changes), and no appointment is required.

2.
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

3.
Submit Application

Tell us about your expectations, wishes and members of your household on our one-page adopter survey.

4.
Interview

Less an "interview" more "conversation." Your adoption counselor will use your adopter survey as a guide and review the pet's file.

5.
Sign Adoption Contract

You'll be asked to show a government-issued photo identification and proof of your address.

6.
Pay Fee

Check out in our Lora Robins Gift shop where essential supplies for your new companion are available for purchase.

7.
Take the Pet Home

You'll take your new companion home the same day. Expert behavior support is available by calling 804-643-7722.
