HOW TO ADOPT

Our application process is designed to make sure our animals go to the best homes possible.


  • PROPERTY CHECK – We always check with landlords (if applicable) to verify any breed or size restrictions on the lease
  • VET REFERENCE – Any animals in the home must be current on vaccinations
  • PERSONAL REFERENCES – It is always helpful to let your references know that we will be calling as most people will not pick up an unrecognized number


The application process, on average, can take 1-2 days. Once your application has been approved, a staff member will contact you to schedule an adoption time.


After your application is approved, it is kept on file for 3 months. That way, if you don't find the right fit immediately, you are able to wait until the perfect companion comes along.
