Adopting Saves Lives! We are so glad you’re considering adopting from our shelter, please check out our links below to find your new furry best friend.
THE PROCESS
BROWSE
The best way to view all our adoptable pets is right here on our website! Here, you can see pictures and read important information like gender, age, and adoption location. Please note that some of our adoptable pets may be at the shelter, in a foster home, or at our local Petsmart. We encourage you to take your time with this process and make a mental note of the pet(s) you’d like to meet!
*For the well-being of our animals, we do not allow walk-throughs of the kennels. When you arrive at the shelter, please have a few pets in mind that you’d like to meet, and we will be happy to assist you with a meet & greet!
MEET & GREET
After narrowing down your search, we encourage you to spend time with your potential new best friend! You do NOT have to have an appointment to come in and visit. The shelter is open every single day between 11-5PM.
Our dedicated team is here to assist and address any questions you might have. If you have other dog and you are not sure if your dog will get along with other dogs, please bring them with you for a meet & greet so that we can make sure they get along before going home with you!
COMPLETE ADOPTION
When you’ve found your perfect match, we’ll move on to complete the adoption. We ask that you sign an adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee. This fee helps chip in for the surgery, vaccines, and day-to-day care your new furry friend has had with us. Donations are always welcome; they help us take care of the next pet that comes through our doors! This is also a great time to ask our team any lingering questions you might have, and we’re here to provide you with resources so you and your new pet can start things off on the right paw.
AFTER ADOPTION
You have a new pet, how exciting! Please remember that each animal will have an adjustment period in their new home after adoption. Every pet is unique & will adjust differently, but as a general guideline you can follow the 3-3-3 rule! 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn your routine, and 3 months to start to feel at home. It doesn’t happen overnight, so give your new pet the patience they need to settle in & feel at home!
