How to Adopt
Begin the process by completing an adoption application. Animals are not adopted on a first-come, first-served basis but on a best-fit basis; completing an application is not a guarantee that adoption will be approved. The application you complete will be carefully reviewed and will help determine if the animal you have chosen is a good fit for you. Application review may take up to one week.
What will we be looking for in the application process? Most importantly, we want our animals to be in the care of responsible pet owners in an atmosphere that best suits the animal and prospective owners. If you have previously owned a pet, we seek documented history of regular veterinary care and vaccinations. In addition, we use great care and expertise in evaluating each adoptable animal's personality and determining any need for special requirements. If the animal you are interested in has specific requirements such as "not suitable with children under age 10", or "needs fenced yard", these requirements must be met at the time of application. Such requirements are established for the welfare of the animal and for general safety purposes, and will ultimately provide the foundation for the most successful adoptions based on our experience. Remember, our goal with every adoption is a "forever home".

Fees for dogs range from $90 to $325 depending on the age, breed and medical history. The fee to adopt a cat or kitten ranges from $100 to $200 depending on the age, breed, medical history and spay/neuter status.
The review process takes about 2-4 days, depending on many different factors. Once your adoption has been approved, the director will contact you regarding taking your new pet home.
