Adoption Policy

To adopt a dog from the animal shelter you can fill out our dog adoption screening form and someone will call you. To meet our available pups in person you may visit the shelter during visiting hours, or come to an adoption event. Come to the adoption event with your landlord, vet, and personal reference phone numbers ready so we may approve your adoption on the spot: Make an instant addition to your family!!
