How to Adopt—The Adoption Process

Adopting an animal is an exciting and important step for you and your family!   The Adoption Center is open 9-3, Tuesday-Saturday, and Mondays by appointment only.

Please Note:  For the welfare of our dogs, appointments are always required to see dogs within Adoption Center Open Hours.

Please note that filling out an adoption application does not guarantee animal placement; think of it as the first step in telling us about what you are looking for/expecting in a new animal companion.
