Before you visit…
- Please make sure you have considered the financial obligation involved in caring for an animal companion. This includes routine veterinary and emergency care as well as food, supplies and training. Although we can give you a general idea of costs, it is best to check with veterinarians, trainers and supply stores for prices before adopting.
- Be honest with yourself about the time you have to train, groom and exercise the companion animal you have chosen. Some things to keep in mind: Do you work long or erratic hours, travel often or dislike outdoor exercise? Figuring this out will help you make the best match!
Equine and Farm Animal Adoption

Plan a Visit
Visit us during our open hours. Our selection of animals changes daily, so please visit us often to find your perfect match.
- Plan to spend plenty of time to get acquainted with your new pet. We estimate that the adoption process will take about an hour, but it could take longer. The adoption center is a busy place, so we appreciate your patience!
- Appointments are not necessary.
- Bring all household members (including children and other dogs) with you to ensure your new pet is a good fit for your home.
Some Requirements
- Valid photo ID.
- Homeowners: Bring a document that proves you own your home (mortgage bill, tax bill, water bill, or deed). Please check your homeowner’s insurance policy for any coverage restrictions pertaining to the breed of dog you wish to own.
- Renters: Bring a copy of your lease and the contact information for your landlord. We verify this information with landlords over the phone before sending a new pet home so please have the appropriate name and phone number available. We recommend you alert your landlord to this ahead of time and make sure you have clearance from them to adopt a new pet.
- Other Pets? Bring information about your veterinarian (the clinic name and phone number) and a copy of your pets’ current vaccination/healthcare records. Other pets already in your household need to be
up-to-date on vaccinations. The staff may call your vet to verify this information. This helps us ensure that everyone is healthy and ready for the addition of a new pet family member.
