Additional adoption info

All shelter locations are conducting animal viewing and adoptions on a first come, first serve basis. We are not able to move a pet from one location to another for your viewing. The adoption fee is waived for all available pets in care and in foster homes. Standard adoption practices will still be in place, including background checks.
