Dogs, cats, rabbits and ferrets are vaccinated, dewormed, spayed or neutered and microchipped before adoption. Small animals available for adoption are typically gerbils, hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, and pet mice. Other pets occasionally available for adoption include cage birds, iguanas and pot-bellied pigs. All adopters apply and are interviewed prior to taking home a pet. The ARL places no restrictions on the length of time it takes to find an animal a new home as long as shelter space is available.
Every effort is made to place animals in loving, responsible homes.
