Thank you for considering adopting one of our many wonderful animals in need of a home. Adopting not only gives a homeless animal a new chance at a forever home, it also helps control the pet overpopulation problem.
If you would like to meet an animal you see here on our site, please come to the main shelter (or Mounds, depending on where the animal is located) and we will be happy to introduce you. We're sorry but we cannot place holds over the phone on animals.
