What do I get when I adopt my pet?

• All animals will be spayed or neutered (or scheduled to be spayed or neutered if under the age of 4 months).

• Dogs over the age of 8 months will be Heartworm tested.
• All animals will have a microchip (implanted at their spay/neuter).

How do I submit an application to adopt a dog/cat?

There is an application button on each animal's profile.

How long does it take to adopt an animal?

We are all volunteers. We ask that you give us 48 hours to reach out to you after you submit an application.

What is the process to adopt an animal?

We require you & your entire family to meet the animal. We call your references, your vet if you have other pets, and your landlord if you rent. If you have a resident pet, the animals must meet too.

How do I pay for the pet?

We send the contract via text (email if you request) and once it is signed, you pay online.

What if I find a stray animal?

• All vet offices can scan to see if the animal has a microchip.
