Pet Adoption Program

Adoption Process

Before adopting an animal into your home, we will ask you to fill out some paperwork and answer a few questions. You will be asked for proof of identity and also for veterinary references. This is for the wellbeing of the animal you wish to adopt and for any pets you may already have at home. After visiting with the animal that you are interested in, you will have a counseling session with a staff member who will inform you of the history, special needs, and food and exercise requirements.

Feel free to ask questions about spaying or neutering, house training, obedience training, controlling fleas and ticks, and anything else of interest.

You will be asked to sign an adoption contract and to pay the appropriate fees.
