Adoption Process

Matchmaking – is what it’s all about

We’re committed to helping you find the right animal for your home and lifestyle.  If we don’t have what you are looking for currently – we’ll hold your profile in our “want” file for a month so you can be notified if an appropriate animal comes up for adoption.  Happy adopters are our best advertisers!

The adoption process:

  1. If you see an animal on our website that interests you, please complete an on-line application and put that animal’s name in the field that asks “who you are interested in?”
  2. Staff will go through the applications submitted and call back the ones that seem the best match.  Next step is a Facetime/Zoom or appointment for a date!  and a chance to ask questions and get more information on that particular animal.
  3. Renters will have their landlords called to verify that the animal selected will be allowed.  No sense getting a new pet only to be evicted!
  4. If you already have a dog and are looking to adopt another, you will be asked to bring in your dog so they can have a “date.”  That way there’s no surprises when you get home. We have a big fenced-in area next to the shelter where the dogs can interact.  We also ask that all the members that will live with the new dog come in to meet him.
  5.  If all goes well it’s just a matter of a little paperwork, payment of adoption fees, and we go over some important information.  Then your new pet is on his/her way to their new home!
