Adoption Info
Online Application
The first step is to submit a pre-adoption application. We will review the application and upon approval contact you to arrange a meeting with your prospective pet. If you are a good match, we will ask you to submit an adoption agreement. You’ll be notified upon approval, and we will schedule a time for you to bring your new family member home.
Are there any adoption requirements?
We require you to submit a pre-adoption application as well as meet the pet. In addition, we charge an adoption fee, which is $125 for kittens under one year, $80 for cats over a year, $225 for puppies under one year, and $175 for dogs over a year. Pets attributed as a ONEder pet have a fee of $75.
How to avoid picking the wrong pet?
We require you to meet with the rescue pet and his/her foster parent prior to adoption to ensure a perfect match. Multiple visits can be scheduled to ensure a good fit. We also are willing to conduct a foster-to-adopt period. For more information on this program, ask us about it.
Vet Q&A: Are pets for adoption healthy?
Generally, yes. However, many of our animals come into our care as strays, some do have special medical needs. We encourage you to read your prospective pet’s bio to learn about any of his/her special needs. We also cannot guarantee the health of the pet after you take them into your home. We are rescuing pets that do not come with any background history.
