Adoption Process
1. Preview an available dog or cat online or through our Mobile Adoption events.
2. Fill out an Adoption Application online or in person at one of our Mobile Adoption events.
3. Meet with an adoption counselor trained to help make the best pet match for you and the
pet. Each pet up for adoption has received a medical examination and/or a behavioral
assessment in order to help determine the best home for that pet. Counselors will help you
decide if the animal you are interested in is a good match for your lifestyle and will direct you to
any pets that may be appropriate. If you do not find a new companion, your application is kept
on file for six months.
4. Complete the adoption once you and our counselors agree that you've found a great match.
We prefer that all members of the household (including other dogs) are present during the
adoption process to ensure that the chosen pet is compatible with everyone. If they are
unavailable, a "hold" may be placed on the pet for a short period in order for any family or other
pets to come in and meet with us and the pet. Also, if during our assessment process we
discover any significant medical conditions or behavioral issues, we will provide this information
to you via a scheduled pre-adoption consultation with one of our veterinarians and/or behavior
trainers.
5. To ensure that the adopted pet is adjusting well to its new environment, a post-adoption
consultation will be scheduled. We want to ensure that all of our animals have found their
perfect forever home and if this isn't the case, we reserve the right to take the animal back into
our care to try again and find a perfect home for that animal.
6. Our pets' adoption fee includes spay/neutering and current vaccinations (including rabies).
Dogs are tested for heartworm and ehrilichia and cats are tested for FIV/FELV and Feline AIDS.
The adoption fee for Dogs is $85.00 and the adoption fee for Cats is $75.00.
