Application Process

Browse Available Pets

Visit our website to see the cats and dogs available for adoption. You can filter by species, breed, age, and other criteria to find the perfect pet for your family.

Submit an Application

Once you have found a pet you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption application. We review applications on a first-come, first-served basis.

Meet and Greet

If your application is approved, we will contact you to schedule a meet and greet with the pet. This gives you a chance to spend some time with the pet and see if they are a good match for your family.

Home Visit

We require a home visit to ensure that the pet will be living in a safe and suitable environment. We will also answer any questions you may have about caring for your new pet.

Finalize the Adoption

If everything checks out, we will finalize the adoption with an adoption contract and adoption fee. We will also provide you with information on how to care for your new pet and any medical records we have.

Follow-Up

We love hearing from our adopters! We will follow up with you shortly after the adoption to make sure that everything is going well and answer any additional questions you may have. We are always available to offer support throughout your pet's lifetime
