Adoption Process

The adoption process can take between 30-90 minutes, depending on the number of guests we are serving. Due to this time commitment, we are unable to start animal introductions, adoption holds, or adoptions 30 minutes prior to close. We look forward to providing you with very personal attention as you embark upon this exciting adventure of becoming a new pet parent!
