Our adoption process is quick, easy, and designed to help pets get into loving homes as soon as possible. Prospective adopters complete a brief adoption application, and all applications are processed the same day. Once approved, you'll receive your new pet's medical records along with a sample bag of food to help make the transition into your home as smooth as possible.

All pets that have already been spayed or neutered are able to go home with you the same day as their adoption. In some cases, an animal may still be waiting to be altered due to a required stray hold period. If that is the case, your adoption can still be completed the same day, and we will schedule the spay or neuter surgery as soon as the stray hold has expired before your new companion goes home.

Visitors are welcome to stop by during our regular business hours to meet our adoptable pets—no appointment is necessary. Our team is happy to help you get to know the animals, answer any questions, and assist you in finding the right companion for your family. Whether you're ready to adopt or simply want to visit, we encourage you to come by and meet the wonderful pets we have at our facility.
