Adoption Process

VISIT THE SHELTER

All adoptions begin at the shelter. Upon arrival, you will fill out an Adoption Survey for the animal you are interested in. Once the form is submitted, a shelter specialist will meet with you to review important information about the animal you are interested in, including all medical and behavioral information we have on record.

Adoption surveys are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. On very busy days, we cannot guarantee we will have staff available to facilitate a meet & greet with an animal OR process the adoption  – we may ask that you return the next day we are open to the public.

Once the Adoption Counseling is complete, animals go home with their adopter the same day! Rescue Village does not hold animals prior to adoption or post-adoption.
