Download, print and fill in our Adoption Application. Our adoption fees are $150 for dogs and $100 for cats.
When you ask to adopt a pet, one of our trained volunteers will talk with you and ask you to fill out an adoption application. He or she will ask about your pet history, living situation, working hours and a variety of other questions that help us determine if you are a suitable forever home. We will also request (and check) personal references and do a home-check before delivering any pet.
While it may seem that we ask a lot of questions, it's only to protect the best interests of your potential pet (and you!). Please understand that many of these animals have been abandoned by previous owners. We never want to put these sweet animals through that again, so we work very hard to make sure that any new pet-owner relationship is going to be loving, stable and forever, and is a perfect match for both you and your potential pet!
But before you adopt, think carefully about your decision. Adopting a pet is a lifetime commitment, both for you and the pet. Dogs and cats can live up to (and even beyond) 20 years old. Your new pet will form a very deep bond with you. Remember that while you have your friends, family and the outside world, your pet has only you, and terminating your relationship with your pet for any reason is emotionally devastating to your pet.
Of course, a relationship with a pet is a wonderful, enriching experience, both for you and the pet. Because almost all of our pets have been relinquished by previous owners or found as strays, we want to make sure that you and your potential pet are a match. We take pet adoption very seriously.
