Dog Adoption

A quick note about our dog population:
People often comment on the fact that we sometimes have as few as three or four dogs listed for adoption on our site; giving the impression that we've got lots of extra room and very few dogs in our building. Most often, however, that's anything but the case. Because we are an organization committed to a high standard of care for our canine and feline residents - and because we care equally about our potential adopters - we take our responsibility to learn as much as possible about our residents before making them available for adoption (including identifying special needs, learning about an animal's temperament, treating existing health issues, etc.) very seriously.

The truth is, our average dog population is about fifteen (though of late closer to 25!) It may well be that your next best friend is right here in our building, on their way to becoming available and choosing you as their new person. If you only see a few dogs listed on this page, please visit often as we do our best to make dogs available as soon as we can and to keep our site as up to date as possible. As with any other topic here, please also feel free to call if you have questions about our population, our process, or our policies.
