When you first enter, you can visit the adoption floors, and view all of the animals available for adoption.

If you see an animal you would like to get to know better or have questions about a particular animal, we ask that you notify the Receptionist and fill out a profile so we can get more insight on your life and what kind of animal you are looking for.

An Adoption Counselor will then review and discuss the Profile with you to make sure the animal you selected is a good match for you and your household.

Once approved, you and your family will be introduced to the animal in a get-acquainted room, where you will have a chance to get to know the animal better. During this time you will receive counseling on how to make the best transition of your newly adopted loved one into your home. We urge you to ask questions!!

If you are planning on adopting a dog and you already have another dog in the household it is often necessary to have a pet-to-pet visit as well to ensure a good match. This can be arranged after you have filled out a profile and have met with the animal in a room with an Adoption Counselor. If you are adopting a cat, in order to get them home safely you must bring a secure carrier from home or you may purchase a cat box carrier for $5.00.

If you are renting, you will need landlord approval before bringing the animal home. In some circumstances, we will need to contact your landlord.

Once you have made the decision to adopt a new pet, we will do all of the paperwork which includes an Adoption Agreement, a copy of the animal's medical information, and a coupon for a free initial veterinarian visit within the next 3 weeks at a participating vet.

*adoptions stop 45 min. before closing.
