Additional adoption info

Ready to Adopt? Stop in during our open adoption hours to meet our available pets. Our adoption application can be completed while you visit. All adoptions are first come first serve–generally if an animal is still on the website it is available.

The adoption process starts with a visit to our facility where you can spend time with the animals and talk to our adoption team to find out which animals might best suit your family. All adoptions require a history check and adopters must agree to standard adoption requirements. If you have another dog in the home please plan to bring them for a meet and greet before you complete the adoption. Property ownership or proof of permission to adopt by your landlord is required. You must be 21 years of age or older to adopt.
