I found a pet that I want to adopt but am not sure if he/she will work out in my home with my other pets. Can I do a trial adoption?

We do trial adoptions in certain situations, usually just for our adult pets. If you are interested in a trial adoption, speak with the counselor at the adoption event about your situation. You will be required to do all of the adoption paperwork and pay the adoption fee, but your contract will have a stipulation […]

Has my new pet already been vaccinated?

Yes, your new pet will have had all of the vaccinations he/she needs up until the point of adoption.  This means that you may have to get more vaccines as they become due but we will have taken care of what they need up until the date of adoption.

Can I take my new pet home the same day?

In most cases, yes. We actually prefer for you to take your new pet home so that he/she can get started being a part of your family. If you know you are in the market for a pet, it is a good idea to have some things ready for your new pet such as bedding, […]
