Our Adoption Process

Our adoption process is designed to help ensure the best match for both you and your new pet.

The shelter is open to the public and appointments are not required.

Simply stop by during open hours.

Before You Visit

You must be at least 18 years old to adopt.

A valid photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport, is required.

We ask that everyone in your household come meet the pet to help ensure a good fit.

Meeting Adoptable Animals

  • Most adoptable cats, dogs, and other animals are available to meet at the shelter.

  • Animals listed as “fostered” on our website are generally not at the shelter.

For Those Adopting a Dog

  • If you already have dog(s), you must bring them to meet the dog you would like to adopt.

  • If you have cat(s), we are able to cat-test the dog prior to adoption.

Adoption Application

All adopters are required to complete a simple adoption application.

This helps our team advise you and prepare you for bringing your new pet home.

What’s Included with Adoption

All cats and dogs adopted from the shelter will be…

  • Spayed or neutered

  • Vaccinated

  • Microchipped

If the animal is already spayed or neutered at the time of adoption, they may go home the same day.

If not, you may pick up your new pet the day after surgery.
