Preparing for Adoption
What to Expect
No appointment is needed — once you arrive, you can ask for assistance at the reception desk or walk through and see the animals. If you see an animal you want to meet, look for a team member with the paw print on their shirt. These adoption counselors will assist with the meet and greet, provide information on the animal and review all the benefits we offer with each adoption. Once you’ve decided to adopt, it only takes 15-20 minutes to complete the process. All our animals are spayed or neutered, so they are ready to go home!
