Looking for a new pet to add to your family is exciting, and sometimes overwhelming. The adoption experience is made simple by our carefully trained team of volunteers and staff. We are here to help you understand the process, meet the animals, and finalize your adoption. Here’s how your easy adventure in animal adoption will look. 1. Visit Us! Stop by one of our adoption locations or search our listings of adoptable animals online. If the pet you are interested in happens to be in a foster home, we will contact the foster parent to set up the next step. 2. Meet your future friend! We will arrange for you to meet the pet you are interested in, and if you already have furry friends, we can help arrange a proper meet-and-greet. 3. Let the experts help you! Our adoption specialists will share their insights about the animal you’re interested in taking home. 4. Let’s go home! We want you to start off on the right paw. We’ll review all the health and behavior info, like vaccines and training with you. Most of our animals can be taken home on the same day of adoption, but we’ll make sure those who need additional procedures, like spay/neuter surgery, get taken care of based on our evaluations.
