Dog & Cat Adoption Application

Please fill this application out only if you are applying for a dog, puppy, cat, or kitten. If you are looking to apply for any other animal, please go back and select the Exotic Adoption Application. We make every effort to respond to adoption requests within 24 hours; however, in some instances it can take up to 7 days to hear back from us as a result of schedules or pending meet and greets occurring. Please be advised that if we receive a large number of applications for one animal in particular that a pending status may be applied to the animal's profile while we process the applications. Applications for dogs and cats are processed in the order they are received. Meet and greets are typically performed for individuals looking to adopt a dog that already have one or more dogs. Meet and greets will only be performed once an application has been approved.
