Adoption 101
Look for a pet
A picture says 1,000 words, but the best way to get to know an animal is to come to the shelter and spend some time with it!
Interested in meeting some pets? Awesome we have a few ways to meet, depending on your preferences! We offer appointments for those who prefer a one-on-one approach to adoption with a counselor Tuesday & Wednesday. Or you can join us for walk-ins to meet our available animals Thursday-Saturday 12-3PM!
