Adoption Process

adopt a dog or cat

Overview of Adoption Process, Fees, and Benefits:

Find your perfect companion and change a life forever through adoption! At any given time, we have hundreds of amazing pets here at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, and we encourage you to visit us to meet them!

Step 1: Meeting our Animals

Our goal is to help you find the perfect pet based on your personality and lifestyle. Stroll through our Pet Adoption Center, visit one of our offsite adoption partners, or browse animal profiles onlineWhen love strikes, simply let an onsite Adoption Coordinator know that you would like to proceed with adoption!

We recommend that you bring other household members, including children, to visit with the pets you are interested in. If you are interested in a dog, we may also schedule a dog visit to ensure compatibility with any dogs in your household.

 

Step 2: Adoption Counseling

Our Adoption Coordinators are trained to give you the best guidance to prepare you and your new pet for a successful transition home. When finalizing your adoption, an Adoption Coordinator will:

  • Check your a U.S. Government-issued photo ID and verify that you are at least 18 years of age
  • Give you information and advice specific to your home and new pet
  • Explain any known medical conditions or behavioral special needs of your new pet

 

Step 3: Post-Adoption Support

If you have questions, concerns, or need assistance at any point after you’ve adopted, we are here to support you! Is your adopted pet not a match? That's okay! Not every adoption is going to be the right fit, and that’s perfectly understandable. Learn more about our judgement-free Adoption Return process here.
