My name is Rowan!

Our adoption process is quick and easy. If you see an animal you're interested in, just give us a call to schedule a time to come and meet it! We are frequently in and out to run calls throughout the city, so an appointment is encouraged to ensure we are at the shelter when you arrive. Walk-ins are welcomed, however, we may not be here.

If you are meeting a dog and have other dogs in the home, we strongly encourage you to bring your other dog to meet each other.
