Adoption Process

Prospective adopters visit the shelter, fill out an Adopter Profile with a valid photo ID, and meet the animal (bringing all household members and resident dogs, if applicable) with an adoption counselor. If it's a good match, they review the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee, and in most cases can take the pet home the same day.
