Adopt a Dog
Please note we now use a paperless, appointment-based adoption process for your convenience. You can now automatically place a pet on hold — wherever you are — by using our online adoption survey.
Our 3-Step Dog Adoption Process
Step 1: Submit an adoption survey
Use the Specific Pet survey to put a particular pet on hold for you, or use the General Process survey to get a head start as you look for your match.
Step 2: Schedule your appointment
Learn more about the pet you’re interested in and continue with the adoption process, or sit down and discuss what you’re looking for so we can find you a great match.
Step 3: Finalize your adoption!
Once you’ve met the pet at your appointment and signed the papers, it's official! Your new best friend will be ready to go home with you right away.

Featured Pet: FORREST
Meet Forrest, an 8-year-old boy ready to binge-watch your favorite TV show by your side. All he wants is to be a lap dog — in fact, he'll nuzzle himself right into your personal space every time he gets the chance! He just loves spending quality time with his human friends and thinks that friendship is the #1 most important thing in life. Forrest thoroughly enjoys sunbathing, treats, and going for leisurely walks. No matter the activity, he's just happy to be by your side.
See below for more information about adopting Forrest!
