Meet the Pet
Once your application is checked and approved, we arrange a meeting (in Brainerd, Little Falls, or Staples) to see how everyone gets along.
3.
Pay Fee
If your meeting goes well, you will be asked to sign an adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. All paperwork will be explained to you.

If pet is ready to go, you can take them home. If they still need more care, they will go back to foster until they are ready to go home.
Additional adoption info
Our adoption application is available online through our website.
We require an application and veterinary reference, to be considered for adoption. Once we have approved your application, we do require an in-person visit (arranged in Brainerd/Baxter, Little Falls, or Staples). We no longer do home checks. If you meet the pet and everything goes well, you will be asked to pay their adoption fee, and sign an adoption contract.
All cats and dogs over six months old are spayed/neutered; puppies and kittens under six months old require a spay/neuter deposit which is refunded if proof of sterilization is returned by the time the pet is seven months old. All canines and felines are vaccinated for rabies (if 12 weeks or older), dewormed, given a flea/tick prevention, and microchipped before going to their new homes.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
