Adoption Procedures

The Process

  1. All adopters must be 18 years of age or older and have a valid form of identification.

  2. Let one of our experienced and caring adoption counselors help you find your perfect match and new best friend, or look for your new friend on your own and then just let a kennel attendant know which animals you would like to meet.

  3. Meet with the animal(s) you are interested in.

  4. Complete an adoption application before or after you've found the perfect pet.

  5. Whenever possible, we try to approve applications on the same day! All animals must be spayed or neutered first, and if not already done, we will arrange it as quickly as possible.

  6. All family members are encouraged to come meet the potential new pet; canine family members are required to be introduced to new dogs before adoption is finalized to ensure compatibility.

  7. If you don't find the perfect pet on your first visit, come again soon!  All adoptable animals are also posted to our web site to help make your search easier.

What to Bring

  1. For cats and critters: A carrier, if you plan to take your pet home that day. We also have cardboard carriers available for purchase.

  2. For dogs: A buckle or quick-snap collar and leash (slip leashes, "choke chain," and prong collars do not qualify as the required collars/leashes). For your convenience, we have collars and leashes available for purchase.
