Additional adoption info

If you are interested in adopting a pet, you would first need to call or send an e-mail to set up a time to meet with the pet and a representative of our organization to see if said pet would be a good match for your family / lifestyle. Once you have met with us, we will give you an application. After the application process is complete we will go over our adoption contract and adoption fees.
