Easy Adoption Process

We’re so excited you’re ready to fall in love with a furry friend! Let’s take a moment to walk through our adoption process so you can start on the right paw.

STEP 1 – Finding Your Match

Begin by viewing the Adoptable Pets on our website and find a furry friend you’re interested in adopting. Make note of which location they are currently receiving care on their adoption profiles to plan your visit. Adoptions are handled on a first-come-first-serve basis, so don’t delay!

STEP 2 – Found a Potential BFF?

All of our campus locations are open for walk-in adoptions during regular adoption hours, which vary by location. You will get time to interact with your chosen pet(s) to see if they will be a good match and we will review your chosen pet’s known history, medical exam findings and treatments, and behavior observations with you to help you make an informed decision.

Dog Introductions: We’re happy to help you introduce your dog to their new potential packmate to make sure they’re a good fit together. Outside pets, however, are unable to enter our kennel areas, so if you do bring your pet for a meet-and-greet, we ask that a second person accompany you to help pet sit while you search for your new furry friend.

STEP 3 – Happily Ever After

When you find your match and fall in love, it’s time to take them home! Our adoption staff will help you through the adoption contract, and you and your new companion will be on your way to living happily ever after.
