The process is simple. Come in and find a pet that you think will be a 'good fit' for your family. Fill out a fairly simple application. The next day (we always have a 1-day waiting period), call to see if your application has been accepted. We have an obligation to these pets to try to place them in good permanent homes, so they do not have to suffer again. We use that time to verify addresses, check our records and speak with landlords and allow you time to consider your decision.
If your application is accepted but your pet is not already spayed or neutered, we will schedule an appointment with a veterinarian. Once all the necessary medical work is done - come back in, sign an adoption agreement, pay the adoption fee ($100 for dogs, $80 for cats - this fee covers the cost of spay/neuter procedures, vacinations, microchipping and a fecal exam) and take home your new family member.
