Adoption Procedure:
-
 Bring your family to the ARL Shelter during any of our open shelter hours. We do ask that the entire family meet the potential adoptee because we encourage adoption to be a family decision.
-
Fill out a dog adopter survey or a cat adopter survey to find out what type of "canine-ality" or "feline-ality" is right for you!
-
Meet the animals that are currently available for adoption.
- Talk with the staff to see if that particular pet is a good match for you.
-
If there are other pets in the house, your vet may be contacted to ensure the pets are up to date on their vaccines.
-
If you have a landlord, they will be contacted for approval of the new pet - please bring contact  information for them.
-
Stop in the For Pets Sake Shelter store and pick up supplies for your new pet, at a 15% discount.
-
Take your new pet home!
