Adoption Process

First step is to fill out the adoption application. If you currently own other dogs, cats or ferrets, we will also need a vet release form completed to confirm that your animals are up to date on their rabies vaccinations per state law. Once this is done, it will take approximately 24 hours to process the application. While your application is being processed, you can place a temporary hold on the animal you like. Holds are good for 24 hours and we accept up to 3 holds on an animal. It takes approximately 24 hours to approve your application. If you have a pet currently, we will call your vet’s office to make sure your pet is up-to-date on its rabies vaccinations. Staff will contact you after the application is processed. Approved applicants will be asked to schedule an appointment to adopt your new pet. However, if you are adopting a dog and currently own a dog, a “meet and greet with the dogs” will be scheduled to ensure your animals are compatible prior to finalizing an adoption. Applications are kept on file for the calendar year.
