Adoption Process

Once you've decided on meeting a pet, we'll ask you to fill out an application that you can pick up at our hospital or download below. Once all the people in your household have met the pet, we can approve your adoption application (this can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days, depending on whether additional information is needed). If there are any other dogs in your home, they will first need to meet the adoptable dog to ensure that they'll get along. Additionally, we don't typically do meet-and-greets for cats since they tend to be anxious when taken from their home environment.
