Pet Adoption: Process & requirements
What is an eligible pet adoption?
We give the most overlooked dogs and cats their best chance at a second chance.
A majority of these animals face death or chronic homelessness. Even those in a “no kill” facility can languish for months – or years – without a home or family of their own. An animal’s prospects for adoption diminish with every day spent in an animal shelter.
