Before You Adopt

Please review our Adoption Guidelines & Pricing below!

1) Browse our available animals on Petfinder or Adopt a Pet.

2) Call the shelter at (626) 286-1159 to schedule an appointment and receive an Adoption Application.

3) Appointments are scheduled Tuesday through Sunday, 12pm-3pm. Walk-ins welcome as availability permits.

You will be able to browse the kennels and meet one on one with the animal in a Meet and Greet.

Everyone that lives in the household is encouraged to meet with the animal prior to adoption.
If the animal you are interested in is a dog, any dogs you already own/live on your property are strongly encouraged to
"meet and greet" with the dog prior to adoption, to make sure everyone gets along.

Once the application and "meet and greet" are completed and everyone agrees there is a good match, your new family member can go home with you!
