All members of your household must be present before your adoption is finalized.
If you are adopting a dog, we will arrange a meet-and-greet with any other dogs in your home after all of the human members of your household have met the dog you plan to adopt. Please bring your current dog’s rabies certificate to your meet-and-greet.
We will need to verify home ownership. If we cannot verify home ownership online, you will be asked to provide a tax document, deed or mortgage statement.
If you rent, we will need a copy of your lease stating that your landlord permits you to have pets along with your landlord’s signature and contact information.
We will only hold an animal if the animal needs to meet other people or animals in your household or you need to obtain landlord approval. The maximum hold time is 2 hours.
We will place animals within the state of Pennsylvania or outside of Pennsylvania but still within a 75-mile radius of our address.
We do not place animals as gifts for others.
The cats and rabbits we place are intended to be indoor-only companion animals.
