Our Adoption Process

So you found the perfect pet--what's next?
You will be asked to complete an Application to Adopt. This form will ask you about your previous pet-owner experiences, and require you to provide the name and phone number of a local veterinarian that you plan to use.
Our adoption fee is $120 for purebred animals, and $95 for mixed-breeds. This fee includes at least one round of vaccinations, a mandatory spay/neuter, a micro-chip registration, and a heartworm test.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
