How Do I Adopt?


click here for adoptable animals


​Application: Dog | Cat | Working Cat | Small Critter​

  • ​View "How to Prepare Your Home" for the new addition to the family
  • Meet with animals who are a good match for your lifestyle and family
  • Be ready to take the new family member home! Most animals are ready to go home the same day.

Please note: before meeting any animals, you MUST be approved for adoption. This includes being pre-approved by your landlord if you rent or lease (trailer parks, condos, apartments and homes).
