OUR ADOPTION PROCESS: Everything we do is for the best interests of our animals in our care. Our adoption process is aimed at matching you, your family and your current pets with our animals searching for a loving & permanent home. An adoption counselor (or volunteer) will introduce you to our animals in a private meeting room. We will share information about the animals history and needs, behavior assessment and any volunteer / staff comments. When you find the right pet for you and your family, the adoption counselor will assist you in completing the proper paperwork. This process includes signing an adoption contract, reviewing medical history (provided by WPHS) and providing proper pet care information. This process takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. You will need a photo ID with your current address. If you rent, a copy of your lease is helpful. Certain animals require a completed application and a pre adoption home visit prior to completing adoption paperwork. Adoption donation fee is accepted in cash, check or credit/debit card. PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, because of the tremendous demands on our kennel space, all adoptions are done on a first come, first served basis and the first properly qualified prospective home will adopt the pet. We are not able to hold animals or accept a deposit for animals.
