How do I adopt an animal from your shelter?

If you see an animal you are interested in meeting, please call to schedule an appointment to come to the shelter.  We do not allow the general public into our kennel except during special events. This is to limit the spread of disease and allow us to have healthier animals available for adoption. We will introduce you in the lobby and if you would like more area to meet the dog, we can take you to one of the play yards depending on amount of staff on duty.  We cannot guarantee the health of any of the animals we have available for adoption. We do not have a Veterinarian on staff, but we are trained to watch for signs of illness. We will be completely honest with any illness or behavior issues we notice in any the animals we have up for adoption. We will also try our best to explain the breed’s activity levels to ensure that this animal is a good fit for your lifestyle.
All dogs available for adoption will have age appropriate distemper/parvo vaccinations, Bordetella vaccinations if old enough, general deworming, and will be treated for fleas and ticks. Our dogs have been tested for heartworms. Rabies Vaccinations are required to be done within seven days of adoption (or by 16 weeks of age), and the spay /neuter is required to be done within thirty days of adoption (or by 6 months of age). Both are at the expense of the adopter.


All cats are given age appropriate distemper vaccinations, general deworming, and are treated for ear mites, fleas and ticks depending on donated medication. Our cats have not been tested for Feline Leukemia or Feline AIDS virus. Rabies Vaccinations are required to be done within seven days of adoption (or by 16 weeks of age), and the spay /neuter is required to be done within thirty days of adoption (or by 6 months of age). Both are at the expense of the adopter. You must bring a crate/carrier to adopt a cat/kitten.
