My name is
Carmel!

Our adoption process is simple! Please come to the shelter and meet all of our adoptable animals and pick out which one would be the best fit for you and your family. Then you have to fill out our adoption application. After the adoption application is approved, we will finish the adoption and allow you take your new family member home.

If you are a renter, please bring proof from your landlord stating that you have their permission to have pets and bring a phone number where we can reach them.
