Additional adoption info

We want to make sure you and your new pet are the perfect match, and we understand that sometimes things don’t work out once they’re home. Adopting a pet is a long-term commitment, so if it turns out the dog or cat isn’t the right fit, we do require that you return them to our shelter.
