Browse Available Animals - If the picture of the pet you like is displayed with a blue banner, that means the animal is here at the shelter and you can meet them in person. If they are displayed with a green banner, that means the animal is currently being cared for by one of our amazing foster families. If they are displayed with a gray banner, that means the animal is available as a private rehome and you can contact the current owner directly!
Complete the Adoption Application - After you submit your adoption application, we'll review it and get in touch! We operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so you are always welcome to call or stop by the shelter to meet our adoptable pets. For animals currently in foster care, the foster will help you set up an appointment to meet them right here at the shelter.
Meet and Greet - This is when it gets exciting! Head on down to the Shelter and ask us to meet with the pet you're interested in. Plan on spending about an hour with us so we can make sure all of your questions are answered. During this time, our Adoptions Team will provide you with personalized counseling, including sharing all of the medical, behavioral, and breed-specific information available for each pet as well as walk you through the process of bringing your new pet home and introducing it to your family. If the animal you're interested in is with a foster family, we will have the foster parent contact you directly to schedule a time to meet that is convenient for both parties.
Going Home - The best part! If your new pet has already been spayed or neutered and is ready to go, we'll finalize your paperwork and payment, then you're all set to take them home! Again, don't forget to have a pet carrier or leash handy. If your new pet is not yet fixed, we will notify you of their surgery date and then call you later that day once they're ready to be picked up.
Once you're home, remember that your new pet will require some time to get used to their new environment, so please reference our Bringing Home My New Pet webpage and be patient as you both adjust while you begin this exciting new chapter together!
