How We Work
Pet Adoption Process
1
Find Your Match
Browse our dogs and cats and submit an adoption application. We review applications within 72 hours or less, and if approved, we’ll call to schedule a meet and greet at a time that works for you.
2
Meet Your Match
Meet the pet, spend time together, and get to know their personality. An adoption coordinator will be there to answer questions and help you feel confident.
3
Bring Them Home
Finalize the adoption and take your new pet home. Have questions or concerns later? We’re here and just a call away.
