At SICSA, you can view all available dogs and cats online and then complete a short pre-adoption questionnaire to begin the process. Once submitted, you can schedule an appointment to meet pets in person or walk-in anytime during our open hours. SICSA has trained adoption specialists to help find a great match. Adoptions typically take about 60–90 minutes, and if a pet isn’t yet spayed or neutered, approved adopters can place a non-refundable hold that applies toward the adoption fee, which varies based on species and the age of the pet. Adoption holds cannot be placed over the phone. The final paperwork is completed with a mobile checkout process.

Our Mission
Promoting the welfare and adoption of companion animals, and nurturing loving, lifelong relationships between animals and people.
About Us
The SICSA Pet Adoption & Wellness Center promotes the welfare and adoption of companion animals through progressive, lifesaving programs aimed at helping both pets and people. SICSA not only provides customer-friendly pet adoption services but is also expanding access to veterinary care through low-cost services, both onsite at SICSA and out in the community. SICSA operates a Help Center that provides a variety of resources to help people keep and care for their family pets rather than being forced to surrender to under-resourced and overburdened animal shelters. The Help Center programs and services include pet food and supply assistance, financial assistance for veterinary care and pet-friendly housing fees, cat and dog behavior support, and Safe Pets.
