Adoption process

We recommend browsing the dogs and cats we have available for adoption and ask that all potential adopters complete an application before meeting the animal of interest to help us get the best of idea of the type of animal for which you’re looking. If you rent your home, we do require proof of the ability to house a dog or cat either by providing a copy of your rental agreement or a signed letter from your landlord or property owner before you are able to officially adopt an animal. All adoption applications are reviewed based on the order in which they arrive. Some animals prove to be quite popular, so if multiple applications arrive within a 24-hour period, we will review applications based on the order in which they arrive and then assess compatibility based on the available applications. Our goal is to make the process as fair as possible to everyone while keeping the animals’ needs at the forefront.
