My story

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

Antonio is a very sweet and gentle boy, but here at the shelter, he is pretty shy and scared around new people. He needs a patient and loving owner who can give him the time and space he needs to feel comfortable and safe. Antonio is great with other dogs and finds comfort in their company. Although he may take some time to warm up to people, Antonio is worth the wait. With love and patience, he will become a loyal and affectionate companion for life. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Antonio es un niño muy dulce y gentil, pero aquí en el refugio, es bastante tímido y asustado cuando está con gente nueva. Necesita un dueño paciente y amoroso que pueda brindarle el tiempo y el espacio que necesita para sentirse cómodo y seguro. Antonio es genial con otros perros y encuentra consuelo en su compañía. Aunque puede tomar algún tiempo para calentarse con la gente, la espera de Antonio vale la pena. Con amor y paciencia, se convertirá en un fiel y afectuoso compañero de por vida.

Their adoption process

1.

Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

With hundreds of pets at the shelter and in foster, we recommend checking our website before visiting in person.

2.

Meet the Pet

We recommend bringing the whole family, including resident dogs, to meet the pet you're interested in adopting to ensure it's a good match.

3.

Sign Adoption Contract

Our adoption team will review the adoption contract with you. Adoption fees are $30 for dogs and $5 for cats unless during a special promo.

Additional adoption info

All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis and must be made in person. As a high-intake shelter, most of the pets that come to us are strays, meaning we have limited background history on the pet, such as health, behavioral or living history. All adoptions include the animal's spay/neuter procedure, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and city license. All adoptions include a 7 day free trial with our training partner, GoodPup to help ease the transition!
