Additional adoption info

- Check Adopt-A-Pet for a list of our adoptable animals.
- If you find a potential new family member, contact us via email at roas@romi.gov and request an adoption application for that animal.
- ROAS does not do blanket approvals for adopters, so only apply if you're ready to be seriously considered for adoption. As a rule, applications for 'any' or 'unnamed' animals will not be considered.
- - - We receive multiple applications for most of our adoptable animals. Each animal is matched with the potential adopter we feel will be the best fit for that animal's personality. First come is NOT first served.
- Dogs must be introduced to potential dog siblings at ROAS before adopting to ensure compatibility. Please email roas@romi.gov to schedule an appointment for an introduction.
- When the application period for each animal is closed, all applications for that animal will be reviewed by the Shelter Manager. Designated adopters will be contacted directly and directed on completing the adoption.
- Adoption is completed when all forms have been approved, fees have been paid, appropriate contracts been signed, and final packet has been processed by Shelter staff.
