1) Browse our available animals on Petfinder or Adopt a Pet.

​

2) Call the shelter at (626) 286-1159 to schedule an appointment and receive an Adoption Application.

​

3) Appointments are scheduled Tuesday through Sunday, 12pm-3pm.  Walk-ins welcome as availability permits.  

You will be able to browse the kennels and meet one on one with the animal in a Meet and Greet. 

  • Everyone that lives in the household is encouraged to meet with the animal prior to adoption.

  • If the animal you are interested in is a dog, any dogs you already own/live on your property are strongly encouraged to
    "meet and greet" with the dog prior to adoption, to make sure everyone gets 
    along.

​

Once the application and "meet and greet" are completed and everyone agrees there is a good match, your new family member can go home with you!

​

Cats/Kittens
