Adoption Process

Pets that are already spayed or neutered can be taken home at the time of adoption.
Pets that have not been spayed or neuterd prior to adoption will have to remain at the shelter. An appointment will be made for your new pet to be spayed or neutered at an animal hospital.
A customer service representative will provide you with the date and time of the surgery and location of the animal hospital where your pet's surgery will be performed. You will then pick up your pet from the animal hospital after surgery.
In the event your pet becomes ill after the adoption but before the spay/neuter date, you will be asked to pick up your pet and leave a $100 deposit. This is refundable once your pet has been altered. You will have 30 days to get the animal spayed or neutered.
If your pet is not healthy after the 30 days, you will need to contact our Adoption Coordinator for a spay/neuter extension. An extension will only be given with written proof from a veterinarian that the animal is not healthy enough for surgery.
You will be contaced by our Adoption Coordinator to ensure your pet has been altered. You must provide proof of surgery to receive your deposit refund. Failure to provide proper documentation will result in the forfeit of your deposit.
