Adoption Process

You can walk through and find the pet that you are interested in meeting. You will need to fill out a Meet and Greet waiver. Anyone who will be with you when meeting the pet needs to fill out a waiver, including minors.

If you are ready to move forward with the adoption, please let our kennel staff know. You will then go to the front office so they can process the adoption paperwork for you. Make sure to bring a valid ID. We accept cash, debit, credit, Apple Pay, and Android Pay. 

Adoption Fees

Our $25 adoption fee includes the following:

  • Spay/neuter
  • Vaccines
  • Microchip
  • Flea and tick medication and dewormer upon arrival at our shelter

Please note that if the animal is not currently altered, there will be a mandatory refundable deposit of $75. Once the animal has been altered with our partnering vet, or if you decide to take the animal to your own vet, you can submit proof of spay/neuter. Please note that we do not cover costs when using your own vet.

 

To adopt a pet in a foster home, fill out a Foster Pet Meeting Request. Foster pets are not at the shelter, so meetings must be scheduled in advance. Forms are checked weekly.
