ADOPTION PROCESS:
When you arrive at our shelter, we suggest you visit our Dog & Cat Adoption Rooms. Once you see a pet you might be interested in adopting, remember that pet's name and come to the main lobby in the Grace Pavilion. We can help you find the pet that best fits your lifestyle.
Once you meet with an Adoption Coordinator, they will bring the pet to meet you and to see if it's a match. You can then spend time with the pet and learn much more about bringing the pet into your home. Feel free to ask for recommendations. Don’t forget, we work with our pets every day and may know the perfect one for you.
Weekends are very busy. Please be patient, we want to make sure we find the perfect pet for you.
We recommend you bring your children to visit with the pets you are interested in. We may also schedule a dog visit to bring your family dog if you are looking for an additional dog. Please set up an appointment with an Adoption Coordinator for the dog meet. We do not recommend cat-dog visits or cat-cat visits. All dogs who visit our shelter must be on a leash and be up to date on all vaccinations.
Adoption is a lifetime commitment including the training, emotional commitment and future medical care. Our most successful adoptions are to visitors who take their time in finding an appropriate companion. Every day, new pets are received at the League and made available for adoption, so if you don’t find an ideal companion pet immediately, keep visiting.
Please remember once you adopt we are here to support you. If you have questions, concerns or need assistance you can call our behavior help line at 472-8815 or email us.
ADOPTION FEES:
We allow of our adopters to name their own adoption fee, however we do rely solely on the generous donations we receive to provide quality programs and services to the community. On average, we spend approximately $300 on each animal to prepare them for adoption. Your adoption donation helps support animals in need.
