Join us for Clear the Shelters!
Adoption Fees Waived — Friday, August 1st, 2025
We have extended hours for this event—open 8am to midnight!
We use a paperless, appointment-based adoption process for your convenience. You can automatically place a pet on hold—wherever you are—using our online adoption survey.
How it works:
If you have a pet in mind...
Use the Specific Pet survey to put your chosen pet on hold.
When submitting your survey, you'll be asked to self-schedule a 30-minute appointment with our Adoption team (by phone or in person). Appointments can only be scheduled same-day or for the following day. Since event appointments may fill up quickly, we recommend submitting your survey Thursday afternoon (day prior to event) to lock in a Friday appointment time.
During your appointment on event day, you'll speak with our Adoption team to learn more about the pet you’re interested in—and have a chance to meet them if you haven't already!
Then all that's left is to sign the papers, and it's official! Your new best friend will be ready to go home with you right away.
For more flexibility...
If you'd prefer to meet multiple pets during the event in order to decide, the General Process survey is for you!
When submitting your survey, you'll be asked to self-schedule a 30-minute appointment with our Adoption team (by phone or in person). This appointment can be completed anytime prior to the event—a great option for more flexibility.
With your appointment out of the way, you don't have to worry about event appointments filling up. You can simply come to the event at your convenience to meet all the pets up for adoption.
Once you've found your match, it's a breeze—just return to the Adoption survey and select "choose a pet as an on file adopter"!
Removing Breed Labels
Adopting the dog you're interested in, not the dog you think you'll get based on the breeds listed on an information sheet. Learn more >
