Adoptions by Appointment
During the corona virus pandemic, all adoptions will be
handled on an appointment only basis. If you wish to
adopt, the procedure is as follows:
• Visit our adoptable dog and cat website pages to learn
more information about animals up for adoption.
• If you are interested in meeting an animal:
– Complete an adoption application. You must save
the completed application to your computer before
you email it.
– Email your completed application to:
[email protected]
• Once your application is approved, an adoption
counselor will contact you. During this call, you will be
asked if you are sick or exhibiting symptoms, among
other questions. If you are ill, we will not be able to
adopt to you at this time.
• After this call we will schedule an in-person meet
and greet with that pet. Please note that a submitted
application does not place that pet on hold for you or
guarantee you will be able to meet that pet.
• For everyone’s safety, we ask that all family members
wear a mask or face covering.
• No more then two people at a time can meet the pet. If
you are bringing more then two people, others will be
asked to wait outside the building.
• Each appointment is limited to one hour and meet
and greets for dogs are done in an outside play area,
weather permitting.
• Appointments are made for only one animal; no one
can walk through the shelter to view all the animals as
they would during normal circumstances.
• We will process adoption fees and paperwork as normal.
Animals that are already spayed/neutered may be
available to go home the same day.
Please note that we do not do out of state adoptions.
As the global situation changes daily, we will continue
to provide updates on our website and social media
channels as they occur. Our updated procedures are
designed for the safety of our staff, volunteers, visitors and
the animals in our care.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during
this challenging time.
