Every animal adopted from us was saved by the support of people like you.

How to Choose a Pet

It is easy to fall in love with many of the cats and dogs in our shelter. But all animals and adoptive families have different needs. So here are a few things to consider when choosing your new family member.

• Are you a “big” dog person or do you prefer a smaller dog?
• Do you want a lap cat or an independent one?
• Do you have young children in the house?
• Do you currently have pets?
• How long will the pet be left alone?
• Are you looking for a running partner or a fellow couch potato?
• Do you want a kitten or puppy, or are you looking for an adult animal?

• Bring a tax bill or mortgage statement as proof of home ownership OR a lease stating that you are allowed to have a pet. We also require your landlord's phone number so that we can speak with him or her.
• Bring an ID with current address.
• You must be at least 21 years of age.
• The entire household must be present for the adoption of an adult dog.
• We take many things into consideration when making a decision about placing our pets in homes. Every situation is different, so please understand that we are trying to make the best match for both you and our furry friends.
