WE ARE ACCEPTING REQUESTS FOR ADOPTION BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

To view our adoptable pets, click on the links shown above. If you are interested in one of our adoptable pets, click on the pet's photo for instructions on how to email us and provide your name, your phone number(s), and the Animal ID. We will contact you to set up an appointment. Please do NOT come to the shelter without an appointment.

With this new process, you will see fewer adoptable pets on the website than normal. Adoptable pets are removed from the website after we have received a certain number of interested parties. Due to the high demand of adoptable pets, we routinely receive multiple requests for adoption shortly after they are posted on the website.

The lists of adoptable pets are updated hourly. However, we cannot guarantee that any of the adoptable pets will still be available when you email us. Pets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

ADOPTION FEE WAIVED FOR MILITARY VETERANS

The dog and cat adoption fee is waived for any person who presents a current and valid driver's license or identification card with VETERAN printed on it. Each military veteran is allowed one (1) dog adoption and one (1) cat adoption every 6 months.
