Adoptions are first come, first served during business hours.
All available animals are kept up to date on our website and can be met at the shelter during regular business hours.
Most animals can be freely viewed in the shelter, while large dogs are viewable online and require staff assistance for a meet and greet.
Animals listed online are available to meet at the shelter unless they are in foster care. If in foster care, an appointment is required.
During your visit, our animal care and behavior team will guide you through meeting your potential pet, and our adoption team will finalize the process once you’ve made your decision.
