FAQs
How much is the adoption fee?
The adoption fee for cats and dogs is $200.
How do I know if the animal is right for my family?
We require all potential adopters to come to the shelter and meet their potential pet. We also require that dogs living with you come visit to make sure everyone gets along.
How do I go about adopting a pet?
View our cats and dogs on our website. Then fill out our free application. Our cat or dog manager will be in contact with you!
How do I donate?
You can make monetary donations right through our site! You can also contact the shelter, our cat manager, or our dog manager to set up a time to drop things off.
Are the animals vaccinated and fixed?
Yes! All our animals come fully vetted and neutered/spayed before adoption is finalized.
What if I want to volunteer?
Just fill out the volunteer application on our site or contact our cat or dog manager if you're interested in volunteering. You can also apply for open positions right from our site!
