How to Adopt

Interested in adopting? Our goal is to always find a good match for both the pet and the adopter. This results in matches that are significantly more likely to succeed for both your household and the animal you are adopting.

Please visit our available animals’ pages to see the list of our adoptable animals. This page is in real time through a direct link with our shelter database so check back often.  Keep in mind that you may see an animal listed that is already in the adoption process, so please have a few possible options if the animal you have chosen is no longer available at the time of your visit. We try to update the website to include a description of each pet, but if you have any questions, we encourage you to email us or give us a call. We recommend that you fill out an online application prior to visiting us during our normal business hours. After you have completed the application, weencourage you to call us to make an appointment. If you just stop by to visit us during our adoption hours, we will do our best to accommodate you but may ask you to wait in the lobby or set you up for a later time or date.

All potential adopters sign in when getting to our facility:

• Dog meetings take place outdoors, with an Adoption Counselor bringing the dog out to meet you. Time is spent reviewing the dog’s profile, including behavioral and medical information, and determining if it is the right fit for the pet and the family. We do not allow the public to free walk in the kennels.
• Cat adopters will check in at the front desk and be shown our different cat areas to free roam. If you are interested in adopting anyone, you may come to the desk to get a staff member who can go over with you the adoption process.

Note, if a pet already has an adoption appointment reserved, you may not be able to view him/her. Adoptions are processed every business day, appointments take priority then on first come, first served with approved application.
