Adoption process

1. Get started by looking through our online adoptable pet listings, which are updated every 15 minutes. 2. If a pet's profile shows ARL Main as the location, you will need to get in our virtual line prior to your visit. 3. If the animal's profile shows ARL West, Ankeny PetSmart, or other partner locations, walk-ins are welcome. 4. If a pet has specific contact info in their profile about how to schedule a visit, please reach out directly to that contact. 5. Please allow one to two hours to complete the adoption process. Pets are adopted on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be placed on hold for your visit.
