Adoption Process

Step 1: Visit the “Available Pets” section. Step 2: Walk Through the Animal Areas. Walk through our animal areas and look at the available animals. You may read the information for each animal, which includes the animal's age and breed. Please keep your children with you at all times and remind them not to put their fingers into an animal’s cage. Not only is it dangerous for you, it can also spread diseases similar to common colds among the animals. Step 3: Complete the Adoption Application. Step 4: Meeting and Adopting Animals. Our Animal Services staff can help you meet pets that match your interests and lifestyle. You can take animals to the dog park area and get to know them a little better. All of our animals must be spayed or neutered before they are adopted. If they are not already altered, we will schedule a day for the surgery to be completed. We do not recommend that you leave your dog in your car while you look at other dogs; the interior car temperature even in the spring or fall can reach lethally hot levels in minutes. Step 5: Paperwork and Fees. When you have selected your new pet, there will be some paperwork to fill out and payment of adoption fees at the front desk. On weekends especially, there can be many adoptions going on, so we ask for your patience if you have to wait during this step. All adoptions include lots of extras!
