End of Application



Please note that most animals entering an animal shelter are strays and very little background information is known about them. The only thing we can tell you about the animal are the traits and characteristics we observe while taking care of them. We can not make guarantees on health, housebreaking and if these animals will be good with children. If the animal is an owner surrender, we may be able to provide additional background information. Please use common sense when bringing any new pet home. Allow it to acclimate to you and your family first before introducing it to other pets and people. Schedule a vet appointment and have the animal seen by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Should you adopt an animal and the adoption does not work out, we ask that you bring the animal back to the shelter. We care very much about the animals that come through the shelter and we don't want them placed in another shelter or given away carelessly. You may be able to receive a full adoption refund if the animal is returned. Please call the shelter if you have any additional questions. 989-846-4421
