How To Adopt

STEP ONE

Search or Visit

Search adoption listings on NCAL’s website for dogs or cats currently available for adoption. You can also visit our Pet Adoption Center during our open hours.

Tuesday – Friday: 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Saturday: 10:00 am – 3:00 pm
Sunday & Monday: Closed

STEP TWO

Register

If you see an animal you wish to meet, first Register your Adoption Interest by submitting an Adoption Questionnaire for a dog or cat.

STEP THREE

Come Visit Us

After filling out the adoption application, come in anytime during open hours to meet your potential new family member. The sooner the better as our animals tend to find their new home within a few days.

STEP FOUR

Adopt

If you and one of our shelter pets are a good match, you may move forward with the adoption process and adopt the animal the same day. If you need time to prepare, you may hold the animal for a $50 fee, which will be applied to the adoption fee, until the next business day.

STEP FIVE

Post Adoption Support

We are here to support you in your journey as a new pet parent. We stay in touch with our families and provide assistance where we can. Explore our website for information about our wellness clinics, where you can continue to vaccinate your pets.
