If you are looking for a new dog, cat, puppy or kitten to add to your family, come to our adoption center. Not only will you find a friend for life, you will be helping a needy or unwanted animal who needs a new home. Our adoption staff strives to help you find the perfect match. Each year we adopt out over 3,000 animals to new homes. Our adoption center is clean and cheery and our staff is attentive and eager to help you find the right animal to adopt.
Every day we have new animals that are up for adoption. From Dachshunds to Orange Tabbies to Black Labs to Black cats, we always have an assortment of available pets. Go to our Available Pets page to see pets currently in our adoption center. You can also view a couple of our animals through our Pet Cam.
Consider welcoming an older pet into your home. A special grant has made it possible for us to waive the adoption fee on cats and dogs who are seven years of age or older. There is still a fee for licensing and micro-chipping.
A generous donor has enabled us to establish the Kaycee Fund to cover the adoption fee for one dog each month of 2009. We selected Sophie, a beautiful one-year-old Greyhound/Labrador Retriever mix, as the June Kaycee fund dog. Sophie had stress colitis that we treated with medication. Because of the Kaycee Fund, Sophie was available for adoption at no charge except for micro-chipping and licensing. She was adopted to a good home!
We have provided all the information you need on how to adopt a pet from us and included a lost and found resource center if heaven-forbid your pet gets lost or you find a lost animal. Also we have a special section on re-homing in case you need to find a new home for a pet you already own.
Every day animals get adopted from our adoption center. They go to new, loving homes and become a member of a family. Our Alumni Tales page lets adopters share their wonderful adoption stories and lets us share them with you.
