Adoption Process

Fill out an application that highlights your lifestyle (including family members and living situation), veterinary references and what you are looking for in a furry family member.
ADOPT
After you have met your perfect match, it is time to make it official and bring your new pet home!
SPAY/NEUTER POLICY
All pets are required to be spayed or neutered before leaving the shelter. Adoptable pets that have not yet been spayed or neutered can be met, approved by the shelter and paid for by the adopter. The animal can only go home after the surgery is performed, which is covered by the adoption fee.
STRAY POLICY
Shelter animals are available for same-day adoption with the exception of stray animals. Strays are held for 7-10 days while we look for the owner. When the stray hold is up, approved applications for stray pets are honored in the order in which they are received.
Shelter animals need patience when adjusting to a new home. Even the friendliest pets might be timid in a new place. With a lot of praise, encouragement and help from your veterinarian, you can help your pet adjust to their new forever home.
Adoption Fees
All adoption fees include a comprehensive health check by a local veterinarian, spay/neuter if needed, up-to-date vaccines, heartworm testing for dogs over 5 months of age and a microchip.
Generous donations allow us to cover the difference between adoption fees and the true cost of care. The minimum medical cost for a dog or cat entering the shelter is approximately $120. This does not include the ongoing costs of daily care such as food, cleaning, enrichment, and staff time, which increase the longer an animal remains in our care.
Prices may vary based on adoption specials and are subject to change without notice. Some animals may have different prices depending on needs.

Vets and Pets Adoption Fees
Are you a veteran of the United States military? As a way of thanking our veterans for their service, the Vets and Pets program pairs our heroes with homeless pets.
Veterans are eligible to adopt dogs and cats over four years old free of charge. Pets under the age of four will be discounted by 50 percent. To use the Vets and Pets program, potential pet parents will need to show a military ID or discharge papers in addition to filling out an adoption application.
