Additional adoption info

We're dedicated to finding loving homes for all the pets in our care. All you need is love-- and a state issued ID. OUR ADOPTION CENTER IS LOCATED AT: 71 OGLETHORPE ST. NW Our doors are open for adoptions from 12 PM to 7 PM every day, offering you ample time to visit and meet your potential new companion. Please arrive no later than 6:30 PM to ensure you have plenty of time to interact with our adorable pups. Adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis. Be sure to bring a leash for your new dog or a carrier for your new cat or small animal. Most animals are ready to go home with you right after you meet them! Can't make it in person? No problem! We offer virtual adoptions for animals in foster homes. From the comfort of your own home, you can browse our pets online, set up virtual meet and greets, and even conduct adoption counseling sessions.
