Adoption process: At the ARL, we consider ourselves to be great matchmakers! Your adoption process starts by gathering information about the type of pet you’re looking for to help you think through the desired personality traits of the pet you’re hoping to adopt. Adopters can also come with a pet in mind after browsing our available pets on our website. Then, our adoption counselors work one on one with you to introduce you to pets at the shelter who they think would be best suited to you and your family. After you have spent some time with your selected pets, your adoption counselor will review everything we know about the pet’s medical, personality and behavior history (including any notes that his/her previous owner may have made). If your adoption counselor and your family think the pet is a great fit for you and your family, unless otherwise noted, you will be able to take the pet home that day. The Animal Rescue League of Berks County, Inc., in its sole discretion, may approve or deny your adoption application for any animal for any reason whatsoever.
