Apple Valley Animal Services's Adoption Policy

An adoption application is filled out and approved. Potential adopters meet with the pet/pets they are interested in. If they have pets that can be brought into the shelter for a "meet & greet" with the shelter animal we encourage that to ensure there shouldn't be any major incidents and the pets can cohabitate peacefully. Once the adoption paperwork is completed the adopted pet receives a rabies vaccine and microchip prior to going home with the adopter of being sent for alteration.
