Adoption Process
Check out our Pet Finder, linked below, to see all of our adoptable animals.
If you find one you would like to meet, submit an application.
Once submitted, an adoption counselor will reach out to you to discuss your application and conduct the initial screening.
Your Adoption Coordinator will conduct any required checks, confirming with your landlord any pet restrictons (if you rent), checking with your current vet to ensure your pets are up to date on their medical needs (if you are a current pet owner), and completing personal reference checks.
If your application is approved, your Adoption Counselor will set up a time for a meet and greet!
