Adoption steps

  1. Submit Application
    Review our adoption process and complete our new online pet application. If you need assistance, call us or visit our Adoption Center!
  2. Approve Application
    If you have had pets in the past 10 years, we will do a vet check and we will check with your landlord or HOA that you can have the pet.
  3. Meet the Pet
    Once approved, everyone in your home will need to meet the pet. Also, any existing dog will need to meet a dog you want to adopt.
  4. Sign Adoption Contract
    We will ask you to sign an adoption contract and pay our adoption fee - a schedule of fees is on our website.
