Adoption/Visiting Hours: Tuesday-Saturday from Noon-4pm. You're welcome to come to the shelter during adoption hours to visit with our animals and fill out an adoption application. You MUST have a pre-approved application before visiting with a puppy 4 months and under.

Please bring vet records of your current pets and proof of home ownership when you come to the shelter. If you’re a renter, we will need to contact your landlord. You can take your new best friend home the same day if your adoption application is approved and all required information can be confirmed.

If you have dogs at home, we require a meet and greet with the shelter dog you are interested in. However, for the safety of your pet and the shelter animals, please be sure to bring all of your pet’s vaccination records with you to the meet and greet.

We adopt animals into responsible homes and vigorously promote the spaying and neutering of all pets to eliminate the cruelty of animal overpopulation. We are a non-profit, non-government funded, no-kill shelter that keeps animals free from the threat of unwarranted euthanasia.

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.
