Adoption
Process
Before adopting an animal into your home, we will ask you
to fill out some paperwork and answer a few questions. You
will be asked for proof of identity and also for veterinary
references. This is for the well being of the animal you wish
to adopt and for any pets you may already have at home. After
visiting with the animal you're interested in, you will have
a counseling session with a staff member who will inform you
of the history, special needs, and food and exercise requirements.
Feel
free to ask questions about spaying or neutering, house training,
obedience training, controlling fleas and ticks, and anything
else you are concerned about.
You
will be asked to sign an adoption contract and to pay the
appropriate fees. Adoption fees are as follows:
