Additional adoption info

If you live a distance and know you would like a certain Friend, Please do our Adoption Application here: https://www.elmorehumane.org/wish-list-adoption-application.html. Upon application approval we can then discuss whether we can hold that animal for a day for you to come visit that animal. We cannot hold animals for multiple days or weeks for you to come for as space is lives and we don't want to miss a great home for one of our pets if travel plans fall through or things change - we hope you understand.
