If you are looking to adopt a dog and already have a dog...

Upon the completion and approval of your adoption application, we will require that an introduction be made between your current dog (or dogs) and the candidate for adoption, to ensure everyone gets along. This will be scheduled with you and be conducted at our adoption center.
