We ask that any adoption related questions be directed to an adoption counselor, either by phone or in-person, during our regular business hours.

Requirements To Adopt
Remember that no animal leaves our shelter without being spayed or neutered. Overpopulation is the chief cause of animal abuse; unwanted animals come through our door every hour of every business day. You must be 18 or older or have your parents consent. You will need to bring your parent or furnish the staff with your parents name and phone number where we can reach them.
If you rent, we will need your landlords name and phone where he/she can be reached. This is for the animals benefit. It is very stressful for an animal to go to a new home only to be returned sometime after because a landlord will not allow a pet.
You will be required to fill out a pre-adoption form at which time you will need some form of I.D. A drivers license is preferable. If your drivers license does not reflect your new address, then you will need to bring some kind of bill/statement which has your current address on it.
If all is in order, then the adoption paperwork will be completed and payment will be needed at this time. Your new pet will then be scheduled for spaying/neutering. You should be able to pick up your pet within several days. If there will be a delay, you will receive a phone call from a staff member or be made aware at the time of adoption.
Helpful Hints:
When choosing a dog in a household where there is an existing dog, bring your dog in to see how both will get along. It is best to do this in a neutral environment, such as the shelter.
If there will be children involved, we urge you to bring your children in.
Some people do suffer from allergies, please let the staff know and we will direct you to the breeds which may have less effect on people with allergies.
We hope to see you soon.
