L'adoption

All available pets are posted on our website. Pets have a personalized profile to help you get to know them better. When you have found a pet that you are interested in adopting, you'll start by submitting a fully-refundable deposit (payment authorization), which we pair with your application. Your payment authorization is a demonstration of your commitment to the adoption process, and the animal itself.

After submitting your deposit, you will receive an email with a formal application form. You MUST complete this application form to be considered for adoption.

Your application will be reviewed by our adoption team and if we have any questions, we'll reach out to you via telephone and email, within 5 business days.

We often receive multiple applications per pet, so we thank you for your patience as we review each applicant.

If you are a good match for the pet you've applied for, we'll set up a meet & greet with you. This is an opportunity to meet the pet you are interested in, ask further questions, and ensure you feel that you and the pet are the right fit.

Please note that we do aim to arrange meet n' greets within 5 days of contacting you for this appointment if your application is approved for adoption. We are often at capacity, and in order to help more animals our goal is to place our shelter pets into loving homes as quickly as possible.

If you are not prepared to take home the pet you are applying for within this timeframe, we recommend waiting until you are ready. We are not able to hold any shelter pets at this time for an extended period of time.

If a match is made, you will receive all of the pet’s medical and microchip information, complete the adoption contract, and proceed with registration, payment and orientation. As the final adopter, your initial deposit will be credited towards the full adoption fee.

Congratulations, your furry friend is all set to go home with you! We also provide post adoption support offering 5 days of support from our onsite Companion Animal Hospital and a lifetime of support and information from experienced shelter staff.
