Animal Adoption


 

 

The shelter is adopting animals via appointment only. Please view the animals available for adoption and fill out an application. Please review the terms and conditions for adoption policy and fees. Applications will be reviewed and if we feel you may be the best match for the animal, we will call you for a meet and greet. Meet & Greets are scheduled 7 days per week.

 

**Applications not filled out in full will not be processed.**

 

Adoption Applications:

 

Cat/Small Animal Adoption Application

 

Dog Adoption Application

(Please read this New Dog Decompression Protocol and watch this video prior to filling out a dog adoption application.)

 

In the case of multiple applications, and you were not called for a meet and greet, we will hold onto your application for 60 days. Please notify us if you are interested in a different animal.

 

Out of state adopters will be required to purchase a health certificate for $40.00. The fee is payable in advance of your meet & greet and is non-refundable.
