ADOPTION PROCESS
Submit the online adoption application. A volunteer will review and contact you with a link to schedule an appointment to meet the dogs in our care. Appointments will only be available to book when we have dogs available and are made no more than a week ahead. Come at your appointment time to meet an adoption counselor and the dogs available at that time. Leave with your new best friend!!

    Please take a moment to tell us a little about yourself so that we can help you make the best match possible.
