Adopt a Pet

We are open to walk-in traffic Tuesday through Sunday, beginning at 11am. When you arrive, you will be added to a waiting list.You must have an animal ID# prepared to be added to the waiting list. There may be a wait to meet a pet, or the waiting list may be full for the day. 

How to add a new pet to your family

• Visit https://animalfoundation.com/adopt-a-pet/adoption-search to browse adoptable animals and write down a couple animal ID#s before you arrive.
• Adoptions take place on a first-come, first-served basis for walk-in traffic, beginning at 11am.
• When you arrive, you will be added to a waiting list. You must have at least one animal ID# to be added to the waiting list. 
• Please note, patrons sometimes line up before we open to meet a pet, especially during fee-waived adoption events. 
• We do not place holds on pets.
• Please do not bring your current pets with you to the shelter. We do not allow in-shelter dog-to-dog introductions. The shelter is a strange and stressful place for most pets and does not provide an accurate indication of how the animals will act in a home environment. The most successful dog-to-dog introductions are properly staged outside the shelter environment. We provide step-by-step instructions on how to properly introduce your new pet to resident pet(s).
