This gives any adopter a chance to see what we have available for adoption. We will have one of our animal handlers show you around and tell you more about each animal individually. 

Before we can start the process, you have to find the animal that you want to adopt! You must spend time with them personally before you can fill out the application. We want to ensure their needs align with you, your time, your lifestyle, your pet(s), and your family.

We only have a paper application available at the shelter. If you are a renter, we will require a landlord note prior to giving out an application.

It typically takes 1 to 2 business days to process an application. We only take one application at a time per animal. If an animal you are interested in already has an application, you will need to check in with the shelter to see if they become available or not. 

Along with the application, we look for previous vet history for current or past pet owners, as well as check to make sure current pets are up to date on shots and are spayed or neutered. A history of spaying or neutering your pets is required when applying for young puppies or kittens. If you are adopting a dog, we also perform a yard check to make sure the area is safe and clean. We require meet-and-greets between dogs to ensure the animals will be compatible. 

Once the application is processed, a representative of the shelter will contact you. If your application is approved, you will pay for the adoption fee when you pick them up from the shelter. If your application has been denied, we will contact you to let you know the reasoning.
