Adoption Process

Our adoption process is simple; after you meet a pet you would like to adopt, our shelter staff will meet with you to provide all the information we have about them, discuss your needs and expectations for your new pet, and provide information to help your new fur-iend make an easy transition.

We believe in having conversations and getting to know adopters instead of having stringent adoption criteria. Subjective criteria prevents good people from adopting animals and makes assumptions about the kind of person the adopter is. We believe in barrier free adoptions to help families find the best match.
