Frequently Asked Questions
What is the adoption process like?
Since COVID-19 we have taken our pre-adoption process online. We ask that you view our adoptable animals and then submit an online application prior to coming in. Once your application is submitted, feel free to stop by anytime during our normal operating hours. We do request that if you plan to adopt that you bring a copy of your driver’s license or other government issued ID and vaccination records for your current pets. If you rent, please bring a copy of your lease and the pet policy. We may need additional information but one of our adoption assistants will let you know.
