If you have pets at home we will require that your dog(s) MEET the potential adoption dog so please come early so you can meet the animal and your dog can also meet their new friend!
Bring in your ENTIRE family. Children 5 years of age and under will be required to meet the potential adoption animal.
If you are adopting a cat or small animal, no animal-to-animal interactions will be required.
