Recycling a little life through Animal Services is not only good for you and the animal, it's good for your pocketbook. Stray puppies and kittens are held for three days before an evaluation is conducted regarding adoption. Often they will go to a foster home for special care prior to begin placed in adoption. Surrendered animals are evaluated immediately upon arrival at the Shelter for a determination regarding being placed in adoption. Once the animals reach the adoption area they will remain there until a home is found unless they become very ill, needlessly aggressive or space becomes an issue.
Every effort is made to find a home - permanent or foster.
How it works When you select your pet, you will be asked to complete an adoption application. The application will include information about how you plan to care for your new friend, where the pet will live, whether pets already in your home are legally licensed, and what your expectations of the pet's behavior may be. If your application is approved, you will complete several other forms including an adoption contract. This process takes approximately 30 minutes. All pets must be spayed or neutered before going home from the Shelter.
