Don’t see what you are looking for? Give us a call or stop in. New pets that need your love and support in finding a better life arrive every day!
Animals available for adoption have been started on their series of vaccinations. We require that adopters take their new family member to the vet as soon as possible after adoption. Each adoption includes a certificate for a free initial office exam from our list of participating veterinary hospitals/clinics.
Please Note:Dogs need a current county-specific license; adopters in Franklin County PA can purchase a license from the shelter on their adoption day.

The Process!

Application
Our adoption application may be submitted online or as a paper copy here at the shelter. Once submitted for our review, the time to process your application takes between two to five business days.
Process
Once approved, your application remains on file for six months and is eligible for any animal up for adoption - even if you submit one for a cat and end up falling in love with a bunny, you would not need to resubmit!
Animal Visitation
You must have an approved application and an appointment scheduled if you would like to take animals out to the shelter's bonding room. We have limited bonding room space and we reserve this for pre-made adoption appointments.
