1. Application: No application or appointment is necessary to walk in to the shelter to meet our available animals. If an animal you are interested in is located in a foster home, the application must be completed first so that we can arrange a meeting with the foster. An adoption application MUST be completed prior to taking a pet home. This can be completed at the shelter at the time of the adoption.
2. Approval: Once the application is approved, a WCGHS team member will discuss next steps. If you submitted the application online before coming to the shelter, a WCGHS team member will reach out by phone to schedule an on-site meet and greet.
3. Finalizing the Adoption: A WCGHS team member will work with the adopter to finalize paperwork and payment prior to leaving the shelter.
