Adoption Process
-
The first step in the adoption process is submitting an adoption application for the pet you are interested in.
-
To help speed up the process, please contact your veterinarian ahead of time and give permission for us to speak with them regarding your current and past pets.
-
Once your application has been reviewed and approved, you will be contacted to schedule an interview and meet-and-greet with the animal.
-
We typically offer same-day adoptions once all requirements have been completed.
-
Before an animal can be released to an adopter, the following must be completed:
-
Approval confirming pets are allowed in your residence
-
Approved adoption application
-
Spay/neuter completed (if the animal is old enough)
-
Adoption fee/payment received
-
A valid driver’s license or photo ID is required at the time of adoption.
-
Please note: Some animals may require a fenced yard and/or a home inspection. Submission of an application does not guarantee adoption approvals
