Adoption Process

Visitors drop in during open hours, fill out a short questionnaire on-site, meet with an adoption counselor for a one-on-one conversation, and do a meet-and-greet with the pet; if they decide to adopt, they sign an adoption contract and pay an adoption fee, all on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance applications or holds.
