Found your new best friend?! Congratulations! We will assist you in evaluating your lifestyle in regards to the animal's needs, review your history of pet ownership and share with you the animal's records. Keep in mind, all adoptions take about 45 minutes to complete. We reserve the right to refuse an adoption if it is in the best interest of the animal. Note: the DRHS does not accept payment in the form of checks for adoption fees, animal holds, or supply purchases (checks are accepted for donations and dog park membership). ​
