THE DOG/PUPPY ADOPTION PROCESS:
The dog adoption process begins by coming to the shelter and visiting our dogs. Plan to spend the day, take our dogs out for a walk. Our staff will be more than happy to share any information we have on our animals. Before walking any dog you will be asked to sign in at the front desk using your name, phone number and driver's license. If you are looking for a canine addition to your home and already have a dog we strongly urge you to bring your dog to the shelter for a "meet and greet". Please be sure your dog is up-to-date on their vaccines. Once you have made your decision come to reception and request a qualified Animal Care Specialist conduct the "meet and greet". No visitor is allowed to conduct a "meet and greet" without an Animal Care Specialist in attendance.
Once you have made your choice of pet you will be asked to fill out an application. We are not a "first come, first served" facility. Most of our dogs have multiple applications. The decisions will be made by looking at the needs of the breed involved, and the best environment for that breed. We ask all potential adopters to research the breed and seriously consider whether they are going to be able to meet those needs. Remember each breed or mix of breed have their own particular needs, energy level, etc.
All animals are spayed or neutered before leaving the facility. If the pet is a stray, they must have been at the shelter 72 hours (weekends, Holidays do not count) before they are available for adoption.

If you live outside Skagit County you will be required to bring pictures of your house with house number, pictures of your fenced yard, closest road and immediate neighborhood. Your yard pictures must show the entire fence so that the staff can assess it's security. We do not accept out of county checks, but do accept cash, VISA or Mastercard.

THE CAT/KITTEN ADOPTION PROCESS:
The cat adoption process begins by coming to the shelter and visiting our cats. Plan to spend some time here visiting our cats. Our staff will be more than happy to take any cat you choose to a visiting room so that you can become better acquainted. Our staff will be more than happy to share any information we have on our cats.
We have two roaming rooms at this time, feel free to open the door and go right in. We ask that you are careful coming and going so that no cats escape! All the cats in the roaming rooms have been altered, Felv/FIV tested negative and some have been microchipped.
If you are adding a second cat to your home it is strongly suggested that you have your new cat Felv/FIV tested at the same time it is altered. Your Adoption Specialist will discuss this with you at the time of adoption.
We ask that you use hand sanitizer between cats for their health.
