The Adoption Process

When an individual or family comes to the Sanctuary to adopt a pet, they must first fill out a pre-adoption questionnaire. This will help our adoptions team to match the adopter with the right pet for them. If the adopter is interested in meeting a specific pet they have seen at one of our events or online, they will meet with an adoption counselor to discuss their needs as well as the needs of the pet they are interested in. If the pet they are interested in has any medical or behavioral conditions that the adopter should be aware of, we will disclose that information prior to adoption.

Meet with an Adoption Counselor

Our Adoption Counselors have worked closely with our pets and have knowledge of their behavior, likes and dislikes, and other personality traits. We require that all members of the household are present during the adoption process to ensure that the chosen pet is compatible with everyone. If you already have a dog and are adopting another, we suggest that you bring in your dog for an introduction.
