When you take your new dog/puppy home, please remember transitioning from one place to another is stressful for every pet. Your new dog will be in unfamiliar surroundings with unknown people and sometimes other pets. Some dogs adjust to new surroundings more quickly than others. It can take as little as 3 to 6 days or as long as 4 to 6 weeks. Please consider adoption very thoughtfully and talk it over with all family members: it is a lifelong commitment to your new dog.

*** Please note: Only staff and trained, approved volunteers can go in the dog kennel rooms. Our dog housing units are not set up for visitors: many of our dogs see strangers in their area as an invasion of their personal space. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for putting our dogs' mental and emotional health first. ***
