Commonly Asked Questions
How long does the adoption process take?
The process generally takes 3–7 business days. This includes a thorough review of your application, veterinarian references, and coordinating a meet-and-greet to ensure a lasting bond.
What are the standard adoption fees?
Our adoption fees range from $150 to $400 depending on the animal's age and species. These fees go directly toward spaying/neutering, microchipping, and essential vaccinations for our residents.
Can I visit before filling out an application?
While we love visitors, meet-and-greets are scheduled by appointment only for approved applicants. This helps us minimize stress for our animals and ensures our counselors can give you the best guidance possible.
What support is available after the adoption?
We are family now! You'll receive a survival kit for your pet's first week, and our counselors remain available for behavioral guidance and support as your new companion settles in.
