Adoption Process

To adopt an animal, you must be at least 18 years old and provide a valid photo ID. If you have pets at home, you need to show proof of a current rabies vaccination and a veterinary visit within the past year. Additionally, you must provide proof of home ownership or consent from your property owner. There is a $75 adoption fee, and you will need to sign an agreement that includes the assumption of all risks and responsibilities for medical needs. All animals will be spayed or neutered before adoption. Please note that we do not adopt out animals that have exhibited aggressive behavior.
