If you are interested in a specific pet, please make a note of that on your application. You can not adopt until you are approved which takes between 2-5 days. If you rent, the staff needs to verify that you are allowed to own a pet; therefore your landlord's phone number is required when filling out an application. If you have owned a pet, a vet reference is needed. We appreciate your cooperation.
