Interested In Adopting an Animal?

The best thing to do is come in and meet the animals and speak with an Adoption Counselor in person.
Due to a high volume of interest, we are unable to answer questions about available animals via email. Phone calls are great, but please note that we are not always able to return calls immediately. As adoptions are completed on a first come, first serve basis, your best bet is to visit our shelter and speak with an Adoption Counselor in person.
