Additional adoption info
Our pet adoption process is thorough and efficient, to ensure we do our due diligence and choose the best fit for our animals. The adoption process begins with an adoption application to further your interest in our dogs/cats. The adoption application is non-binding and completion does not guarantee adoption. Our adoption coordinators will contact your references and contact you for an initial interview. Once approved for adoption, we will help you coordinate a visit to the foster home or invite you to our next public adoption event. A home check, interview, and reference check is required. Your family should help decide which animal is best suited for your home and lifestyle. Please remember that this decision should not be handled lightly and we expect you to care for your pet throughout its lifetime, keeping emergencies and financial status in mind. If you think there's any possibility you won't be able to give the pet the best life possible, then please do not adopt. Our volunteers are always on hand to help answer your questions and to help you choose a pet that is right for you.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
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.
