Adoption FAQs
-
Once you complete your Adoption Questionnaire, please visit us the shelter. After meeting with the pet you’re interested in, our adoption team will place the hold and start the adoption process. Please note that we cannot place a hold online or over the phone.
-
No appointment necessary! Please visit us during our business hours to meet with an available pet.
-
Pets listed on available pet pages (dogs, cats and small animals) are available for adoption. Our website updates every 15 minutes. If you do not see the pet you are interested in, they may have been placed on hold.
-
If you are looking for a specific breed, age group or coat color—please fill out a Pet Alert. Pet Alerts allow you to list your preferences and be alerted to an available pet that meets that criteria.
-
Our adoption staff will help you set up a meet and greet between your dog(s) and the dog you are interested in. We ask that owners handling their dogs wear closed toed shoes, have their dog on a collar and refrain from bringing additional family members to the meet and greet.
-
We ask adopters to bring a leash and collar/harness, or cat carrier to their adoption appointment.
