Dog Adoption Process

If you are interested in adopting a dog, you would have to come to an adoption event. To save yourself time, you can download the dog adoption application in Acrobat Reader format (recommended option) or Microsoft Word format or Rich Text format now, fill it out, and bring it with you. If you are unable to download the dog adoption application, you can open it in a new window and print it from there. Alternatively, you can fill one out during an adoption event. You would next be interviewed by two volunteers who will check whether everything is okay and use the interview to share some insights with you. Please note that adoptions are subject to a 48 hour waiting period. For popular dogs, we reserve the right to select the best match. Please be advised that we require fenced-in yards for some of our dogs. The adoption fees are listed below.

For $150.00 (increase fee as of April 01, 2007) for mixed breed dogs, pure-bred dogs & puppies:
  • Spay/Neuter
  • 1st Immunization (Distemper, Parvo, etc.)
  • Rabies Vaccination
  • Heartworm Test
  • Identification Microchip

Note: "Seniors" (55 years and up) who adopt a "senior" dog (5 years and up) pay an adoption fee of only $50.00!
