ADOPTION

Here is the basic outline of the adoption process:

1. Meet the Animals and an Adoption Counselor
2. Complete an Adopter Information Form and Meet Your Match Survey
3. Confirm a good match* and complete adoption paperwork
4. Take your new friend HOME!

Once a match* has been made, it may take up to an hour to complete the adoption.
