In order to help you find the most appropriate pet for your household, we ask that you: Complete a short survey about your home and lifestyle. Bring by as all members of your family as possible to meet the pet. We require that ALL members of the household meet the pet. If you have another dog, we require a Meet & Greet. Bring Your Landlord's Number! We will call for approval. It's important that your new pet is compatible with all the people and pets in your house; we do our best to determine the adoptable pet's ability to adjust to your lifestyle. We evaluate each adoption on a case-by-case basis and may ask you to visit us several times to meet with the dog or cat prior to completing the adoption.
