Adoption Process

Adoption fees vary between $79 and $250. All applicants are required to complete an application. We will verify veterinary and landlord references. After that, the applicant must meet the dog in person. If there are other dogs in the household, we will facilitate an introduction at the shelter and/or offer a five-day foster program to ensure a suitable match. Following these steps, the applicant will need to pay the adoption fee and sign an adoption contract.
