What to Bring
- Proof of home ownership (such as a mortgage or tax statement, home owner's insurance document, or deed) or landlord approval (lease agreement or landlord's contact information).
- For cats and critters: A carrier, if you plan to take your pet home that day. We also have cardboard carriers available for purchase.
- All family members who live in the home are encouraged to meet with any pet. We do require all family members to meet with dogs and rabbits prior to adoption.
The Process
- Let one of our experienced and caring adoption counselors help you find your perfect match and new best friend!
- Or look for your new friend on your own and then just let a kennel attendant know which animals you would like to meet.
- Meet with the animal(s) you are interested in.
- Complete an adoption application when you've found the perfect pet.
- For most animals, you will be able to take your new pet home the same day!
- If the adoption is unable to be completed on the same day, a hold may be placed on the animal for 24 hours only with a $20 deposit. This deposit will be credited toward the adoption fee at the time of adoption.
- Request a cat test (if applicable - if you are adopting a dog and have cats at home).
- For rabbit adoptions and dog interactions, we may ask that you make a second visit before taking your new pet home.
**Please Note: We stop taking animals out of their kennels 30 minutes before close**
