Scheduling an appointment using the Adoption Application?
The best way to schedule an appointment is by completing and submitting an Adoption Application. If there is a specific pet you like, the application has a place where you can give us that pet’s name. If you don’t have a specific pet in mind, you just specify whether you’re interested in cats or dogs. After we’ve received and reviewed your application, a volunteer will call you to arrange an appointment.
Click for the Adoption Application page.
Please be sure to click on the proper button (cat or dog) on the application page to ensure your application goes to the correct volunteer.
