Adopt
an Animal
Updates
are done daily but, please call to confirm availability
Adoption Procedure - Generally the adoption process
is offered to citizens on a first come-first serve
basis. That means the first qualified good home
that is authorized by our personnel at the shelter. No
reserves may be taken by phone or e-mail. After a visit
to the shelter to actually meet with the animal and our
staff, prospective adopters are required to submit a
short application stating their living arrangements and
indicating the ability to adequately care for the
prospective pet. We may check for prior history with
animals and would ask that renters have landlord
permission to keep pets before the adoption is
approved. Our intent is to provide each animal with an
appropriate home environment and foster a good pet-owner
bond, and to assure that the animal is well cared for
and will not be allowed to reproduce and add to the pet
overpopulation problem. We do reserve the right to
disapprove any placements that we feel is not in the
best interest of the people or the animal. Occasionally
an animal will get so much interest that there are
several interested applicants. In such a case we will
choose the applicant that we feel provides the most
ideal chance for a wonderful pet – owner relationship.
