Most of our animals are available to adopt without an appointment on a first-come, first-served basis. Please take another look at the bio of the animal you’re interested in to make sure they need an appointment (hint: look in the “details” section)!

If no appointment is needed, come visit us! If an appointment is needed, please fill out the form below to request an appointment. If you do not see a form below this text, please clear your cache and reload the page. Thank you!

Please note that appointment requests may be responded to as early as same day, but those needing match-making may take up to 72 hours. If you are not ready to adopt at this time, we recommend checking back with us when you are ready to take your new pet home.

How would you describe your level of experience with dogs?*

I've owned many dogs in the past including those with behavioral or medical challenges.

I've owned dogs in the past, but have little experience with behavioral or medical challenges.

I've been around dogs or grew up with them, but this would be my first time owning one in my adult life.

I have little experience with dogs- I'm looking for a great "starter" dog!
