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.

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.
