Adopting from this shelter

Adoption process

Adoption is by appointment only; you fill out an adoption application, they contact you to discuss the best fit and complete any vet reference or landlord check, then schedule a meet-and-greet before finalizing the adoption, with priority given to best fit rather than first-come, first-served.
