If you already own pets – we will require proof of current vaccinations administered by a veterinarian. We can verify with your veterinarian directly but providing your pets’ records can be much quicker. A meet and greet with current pets in the home is highly recommended and may be required for some adoptable pets. If you rent/lease your home – we are happy to help find the perfect fit for you! Property owners generally have restrictions on the size, age, breed, and number of pets allowed on their properties. We will need to contact your landlord prior to adoption to ensure the pet you choose will be welcome. You must be 21 years or older to apply for a pet.
