Adopters meet with the animals available at our shelter or at off-site adoption events. They fill out a questionnaire and spend time with an adoption counselor to ask questions and learn more to ensure a good match. If everything looks good and the animal is already spayed / neutered the adoption is finalized that day. If the animal still needs to be spayed / neutered, they will be held at the shelter and can go to their new home after the surgery is performed (generally within 3 days).

Last year, we had 5797 total shelter and clinic intakes. We made 2833 adoptions into loving homes and had 1089 pet reunions for animals. In addition, we provided 1583 cat spay/neuter surgeries to assist cat caregivers in reducing feral cat over-population.
