You may also view available pets online in advance, on our 24PetConnect page. If you meet a shelter pet you'd like to adopt, complete an adoption questionnaire (available at the Shelter), and one of our Adoption Counselors will go over that pet's medical and behavior history and information. Make it official! We do same-day adoptions which means pets go home the same day they're adopted!
