Beginning March 17th, all adoptions will be handled on an appointment-only basis, and we will be closed to non-adopting visitors.
Starting May 1, every customer, volunteer, and employee entering our building will be required to wear a mask at all times.
PLEASE NOTE: We currently have more adopters than pets available. We are working with new resources to get more homeless and abandoned animals to rescue through our facility. (For an in-depth explanation of this current situation, please read our blog titled “The Forgotten Animals.”)
Due to this high demand, we hope you will grant us some grace as we are continually modifying our operations and resources to adapt. We are working diligently to get our homeless animals into homes as efficiently and fairly as possible under these unique COVID-19 circumstances.
We may not be able to adopt to everyone at this time due to limited availability of pets. We understand your frustration and ask you to please bear with us. Thank you for your understanding and for choosing adoption!
Following is our appointment-only adoption process:
Because the global situation changes daily, we will continue to provide updates on our social media channels and our website, as they occur. Our current updated procedures are designed to provide the optimal safety for staff, volunteers, visitors, the animals in our shelter, and the ones who will still need our help.
