Adoption Policy

Adoption Process

Our goal is to find you the perfect pet for your family. We recommend that you consider what age, size and temperament of cat or dog would best suit your lifestyle, home and family. When you see an animal posted that you think is a good match, submit our online adoption application. The link to the application is https://daws.org/daws-forms/. An Adoption Counselor will process your application and once approved, a meet and greet with the cat or dog will be arranged.
