Adoptable Pets
We're excited to help you find your new best friend! We invite you to learn more about the pets in our care and apply to bring your new friend home.
ADOPTION PROCESS
Step 1: Adoption Application
-
Fill out an application: If you are interested in a specific animal, make sure to include their name. If you are looking for help identifying a match, the completion of the application starts the process. We require all potential adopters to fill out an application before we do any "meet and greets."
-
Background Verifications: Our first step to approval is completing vet record checks and home ownership/landlord checks. Requirements are:
-
Vet record checks: All current pets must be spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. We also verify that pets in your care (current or past) received regular veterinary care.
-
Home/landlord checks: We complete checks to ensure pets are allowed to live at the residence and ask about any breed, weight, or other restrictions from the landlord or city.

Step 2: Meet and Greet
Once an application is approved, our manager will be in touch to discuss next steps, including a meet and greet. At this time, our manager can answer any questions you have about the dog/cat and our process. If you'd like to meet more than one pet, we will gladly work with you to do that!
We do require a meet and greet with all dogs to ensure we are finding the best fit for everyone. We also prefer to have all human companions involved as well!
Step 3: Furever Family!
After a successful meet and greet, you will be able to take your new best friend home! All animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated prior to adoption. If the animal is too young for spay/neuter, adopters will be required to sign a contract committing to spay/neuter the animal. (We cover this cost if you use our veterinarian.)
We have collars, leashes, food, and treats available for purchase (with all proceeds supporting the shelter) but you are welcome to bring your own goodies for your new friend as well!
Note: AHAR retains the right to refuse any adoption for any reason.
