Animal Shelters
Animal Shelters receive animals from:

* owners who can no longer care for their pets
* relatives when an owner has passed away
* stray animals
* humane organizations and animal control agencies

When animals are taken in, they rarely have a medical history. If there is one available that indicates medical aid or veterinary care has been given; this information is passed on to the new owner. The Animal Shelter cannot guarantee the health or temperament of an animal adopted from the Shelter.

Please allow at least 30 minutes to visit the Shelter, view the animals and acquaint yourself with those who are available for adoption. If you do not find what you are looking for, a wish list is sometimes maintained at the front desk, so be sure to check with the receptionist.

In order to adopt from the Animal Shelter you need a Drivers License or photo ID and must be at least 18 years of age.
