We strive to place each animal in the home that best fits their needs and your family’s lifestyle. If an adoption is not the right match, we will gladly help recommend a more suitable option. Puppies and kittens adopted before they are old enough to be spayed or neutered will be contacted when they reach the appropriate age to be altered. This process and expectations will be discussed further at the time of adoption.
