If you are selected, there is an adoption contract and adoption fee we will have you complete. Please bring your Driver's License or other photo ID to complete the adoption process.

As required by Missouri State Law Section 273.403, all dogs and cats are required to be spayed/neutered before the adoption can be finalized.
