Adoption Process

Applicants complete an adoption application (must be 18+, with ID and landlord info/lease if renting), then an adoption counselor reviews it and contacts them; adopters schedule a meet-and-greet (or a foster-to-adopt "Slumber Party" for dogs), and once approved, sign paperwork and pay the adoption fee, after which the pet receives a complimentary follow-up veterinary exam voucher.
