My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Lita came in as a stray early November who was never claimed by her owners. She is now ready to find a forever family and hopes to never land in a shelter again!

When Lita first arrived at the shelter, everyone thought she was a young puppy due to her size and excitable nature, but we were WRONG! Lita has all of her adult teeth and is at least a year old. If you're looking for a dog who will be forever young, Lita is your girl! She is definitely a go with the flow type of pup, and everything she does has a bit of spunkiness to it. Lita just loves life, people and wants to soak in all the experiences she can get. We won't lie, she can be a little over the top with her energy at times, but she is treat motivated and willing to learn. Lita just has a lot of drive with nowhere to put it, and would do really great if she had a job to do or could live with a family who had a pretty active lifestyle already. The BEST thing for Lita would be for her to live in a house with other dogs who she could play with. She really enjoys canine company, and would make a great pal to the dog you may already have. Despite her energy, she is pretty great with kiddos as well.

Their adoption process

1.
Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

If interested in adopting from us; your first step is to come meet our adoptable animals and find the one for you!

2.
Meet the Pet

If interested in a certain animal, we will pull the pet out of the holding area for you to meet her/him.

3.
Submit Application

Once you have found a pet, you will fill out a short adoption application.

4.
Sign Adoption Contract

You will sign our adoption contract. If you refuse to sign, you will be denied adoption.

5.

We do same day adoptions, therefore we will go over the form to ensure you are a good fit for the animal. If all works out, you are good!

6.
Pay Fee

You will leave the pet with us at the shelter, pay the adoption fee at city hall, then return to us with your receipt.

Take the Pet Home

Once we have proof of payment, you are free to take your new pet home!

Additional adoption info

Adoptions take place same day. We do not hold/tag animals for adopters. Of you are unsure if you would like to officially adopt the animal, you may ask about our "foster to adopt" program. Through this, you will have 5 days to test out the animal to ensure it fits the home.
