Adoption Policy
All potential adopters must be interviewed by our staff or a volunteer adoption counselor.
During this interview, you will answer simple questions about:
The type of pet you want
Your plans for caring for the pet
Current veterinarian
Property owner status
Rental status and landlord contact, etc.
By law, all other pets in the home must be current on vaccinations, and all adopters must present a state ID or proof of residency to adopt. A home visit or meet and greet with other family pets may also be required.
Visiting with Pets
Once an adoption questionnaire is completed, you may request that a volunteer or staff member remove an adoptable pet from a kennel for a visit. Please do not take an animal out of its kennel or cage on your own. There are puppy and kitten visitation rooms inside the shelter, an outdoor cat patio, outdoor visitation pens and walking trails available for your visit.
We encourage all adopters to spend a substantial amount of time with any potential new pet. The shelter is a very high energy environment and can be stressful for pets. Pet behavior in the shelter, especially with dogs, is not always indicative of a pet’s true personality. We strongly recommend and in some cases require a meet and greet at the shelter if you already have a dog at home.
We encourage a good, quiet visit outside on one of our benches or in a play area. Adoption counselors and volunteers who work with our pets daily on leash walking and socialization will work with you to help find that perfect pet, but bear in mind that this may often require more than one visit.
Finalizing Your Adoption
Our agency accepts cash, checks (with ID), debit cards and credit cards (requires small processing fee). Payment is required before leaving the shelter.
Most pets can be taken home as soon as adoption paperwork and transactions are completed. However, if the mandatory spay/neuter has not been completed, we may keep your pet a few days to
