Please note the "Available" date in the pets description, or contact the shelter to be sure the pet you wish to see is available for adoption. Not all the animals posted are available for adoption, some are still on their "stray holds", this is to allow people who may be looking for a lost pet an opportunity to see the animal in our shelter, it also allows people to see what may be coming available for adoption.
