Adoptions

Adopting an animal is a fulfilling experience. When you adopt, you provide a loving home to an animal in need and are repaid with unconditional love!

It’s time to meet your match.

We take a hands-on approach that considers personality, behavior, other household pets and more, to make sure you find your perfect pet.

Our adopters are unique individuals with one-of-a-kind personalities – just like our animals!

Furry, feathered, scaled or smooth? Couch potato or workout buddy? There’s a match for everyone!

3 simple steps to adopt

View available pets online or in person

Begin the process by checking out our available pets to find someone you’re interested in. Our website is updated in real-time, so you can always double-check an animal’s availability before visiting.

Meet your match

Adoptions are completed in person on a first-come, first-served basis (except for large barnyard pets). No appointment is needed for animals at the Adoption Center. You will meet with our adoption counselors to find the best match for you!

Welcome your new pet home

Found your match? You're ready to sign the adoption contract! You'll usually bring your new family member home the same day. We'll give you all the information you need to help make the transition successful!

Good to know

We make sure you have everything you need.

We'll cover the basics so you can focus on what matters most - spoiling your new family member! Each adoption fee includes the following.

Meet Azaela, our featured pet!

Azalea is the definition of an easy going and sweet as can be dog. If you’re looking for a companion to take on walks or just hang around the house with, Azalea could easily be the one. This sweet girl is always on the lookout for someone to give her pets and treats, and she’ll gladly hangout by your side for as long as you’ll have her. She doesn’t care too much for other dogs, but we think she’d fit right into any family with older kids where she can be the center of attention all day long.

Ease into it...

We want to ensure that each and every animal is adopted into a home where they can thrive. That's why we have introduced a new way for adopters to get to know an animal!

Test Drive Program

Our Test Drive program allows you to take a dog home for seven days to get to know them better! This week gives you a chance to see how a dog fits into your life and enjoy pet companionship before making a final adoption decision. If the fit is right at the end of those seven days, we are thrilled to finalize the adoption. If not, we have still gained valuable information about how the dog functions in a household that will undoubtedly aid us in finding their perfect forever home.

All available dogs older than 6 months are eligible. Interested in going for a Test Drive? Visit our Adoption Center to chat with an Adoption Counselor!

Adoption FAQs

Usually, yes! We do same-day adoptions whenever possible. In some cases, you cannot take your new pet home the same day for medical or behavioral reasons.

No appointment is needed! We are open Tuesday – Saturday 10 am – 6 pm. We are closed daily from 1 pm – 2 pm for animal naptime.

Yes, you can adopt from us even if you live outside of the county. You will still need to visit us in person.

We created naptime for the animals in order to give them a much needed break. It can be stressful living in a kennel and meeting new people. Giving our animals some quiet time allows them to relax. During this time we turn the lights off, lock the doors, and give the animals some “me” time!

Because we operate on a first-come, first-served basis, we are unable to hold animals for potential adopters. You can always check our website to see if an animal is still available before making a visit.

For available dogs 6 months and older, we offer a Test Drive program that allows for seven days to see how a dog fits into your life! At the end of those seven days, you can either choose to complete the adoption, return the animal, or become an Adoption Ambassador. Otherwise, our return policy allows you to bring your pet back within 30 days for a full refund (unless you adopted your pet during an adoption promotion or the regular adoption fee is less than $10). If it has been more than 30 days since your adoption, then we require that you make an appointment first.

We encourage dog meets between the resident dog(s) and a potential dog adoptee. We can also facilitate meetings between spayed/neutered resident rabbits and a potential rabbit adoptee. While we cannot conduct interspecies or cat meets, your Adoption Counselor will go over how to facilitate slow, appropriate introductions between the animals in your home and your new pet.

We take every precaution to ensure animals are adopted out healthy, but we cannot guarantee the health of any animal. We are unable to provide medical care after adoption. You are responsible for future veterinary appointments if your new pet gets sick.
