Adoption Process

The adoption process can be time consuming and will most likely take more than one visit to the shelter. But this time is time well spent to assure you and your pet enjoy a happy life together. The shelter’s adoption application is not on our website. Rather, we request that you come to the shelter to meet your potential new pet and fill out an application at that time. We appreciate your patience and cooperation in bringing your family and your new pet together.
