Additional adoption info

If you see a pet you are interested in, please fill out our adoption application. We review carefully and will only place in homes that would be best fit! Example, if you have many small children and pets, we would not place a timid pet in your home. We do this so there is less chance of returning to our rescue! If we think we have a better fit for you, we will make suggestions!
