Before you go
Adopting from this shelter
Adoption process
Visit the Adoption Center in person (no appointment needed) to meet the dog or cat, since meeting the animal first is required before adoption; you may also fill out a digital dog or cat application online, but final placement decisions are made only after an in-person meeting.
