Our shelter is open to the public!

An appointment may be required to visit certain pets but we’ll do our best to accommodate walk-ins.

1. Submit adoption application

Apply online or print and complete your application. Help us process your application more quickly by filling out all fields as completely and accurately as possible. For example, please include landlord’s phone number if you’re a renter or your parents’ phone number if you live with them. Trust us, they’re much happier with you and us if we keep them “in the know.”

Your approved application remains on file for one year.

2. Select the pet(s) you’re interested in adopting

Browse through available or upcoming pets. Check out current available dogs and cats or view current strays to see animals who could be available soon. Make sure to check each animal’s current stage when you click on their picture.

3. Wait to hear from us

Unless a special situation is happening (like a puppy mill bust or a puppy transport), you can expect to hear from us within two business days after submitting your application. Some applications can be approved within a few hours, others could take several weeks if we’re having difficulties contacting a landlord or veterinarian.

4. Schedule adoption interview

When we contact you to give you the good news that you’re officially an approved adopter, we’ll schedule an adoption interview so you can meet the pet(s) you’re interested in! Kind of like a first date, you’ll get to know each other to make sure you’re a good fit. If you have other pets or kids who should meet your potential new family member, plan to bring them along. Expect some kissing on the first date too. Most of our shelter pets aren’t shy.

5. Adopt your pet

When you find your perfect match, the next step is to make it official! If your new BFF is spayed/neutered and ready to go home, we may be able to complete your adoption immediately after your interview. If he or she is not yet ready to go, we’ll schedule an appointment to complete your adoption as soon as they’re ready!

6. Live happily ever after

Enjoy your new shelter pet and all the joy he or she will bring! Remember, we cannot guarantee their health or temperament, but we promise to disclose everything we DO know about them. We want your life together to be long and wonderful! Send us updates via Facebook or email. We live for your Happy Tails!

Adoption Fees

Before adoption, all pets are spayed/neutered, microchipped, tested for heartworm disease (dogs) or FIV/FELV (cats), treated for parasites, and up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations.
