Animals available for adoption
Looking for a pet? Consider adopting an animal from the pound.
All animals are de-sexed, microchipped, vaccinated and been treated for fleas and worms before being released to their new home.
We do our best to keep this page up to date, but we are busy caring for our furry friends! That means not every animal is listed online, so we encourage you to visit us in person to meet your future best friend.
If you already own a dog and are planning to adopt another one, please call us to arrange a time to come down with your dog. We will set up a meet and greet so you can ensure they get along.
Photo ID is required when adopting.
