Adopt A Pet - Friends For Life Animal Shelter

Think you’ve found the perfect forever friend? Fill out the application below, and one of our adoption counselors will contact you with next steps.

To adopt a pet from Friends For Life, you must:

Be 21+ years of age
Have a legal form of photo ID
Be able to spend the time and resources necessary to provide the training, medical treatment, and proper care for your pet
Be allowed to have a pet of the breed and size where you currently live

View our adoptable cats or dogs
Fill out an adoption application (you do not have to specify an animal at this point)
Complete an adoption interview with an Adoption Counselor
After additional screening steps, you will be notified of the status of your application. If approved, your application is good for six months.
Next, the adoptions staff will work with you to find a pet that is a good fit for your family, schedule a date to meet the animal and possibly a 1-week trial “sleepover”.
- If you have pets already, our staff will facilitate pet introductions or send you with step-by-step instructions. Please do not bring your pets to the shelter unless pre-arranged with our staff.
If the sleepover is a success, we’ll schedule an appointment to finalize the adoption contracts and go over your new pet’s medical records, microchip info and the post-adoption benefits and resources that will be available to you as an FFL adopter.

Covers a microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, spay/neuter if over six months old, and advice/resources for the life of the animal.

Kittens under 12 months old are always a 2-for-1 adoption fee (adopt two kittens, pay one adoption fee)

Senior humans (65+) not adopting a senior animal: $70
Military with ID: $70
Repeat adopters: $70

Fully-Refundable Spay/Neuter Deposit (if adopting an animal younger than 6 months): $250
