_ Before you can see (that is, pet, cuddle, walk, and get to know) any animal you've seen on our website and are considering adopting, we'll ask you to complete our adoption application. This paperwork must be completed first in order to minimize stress for you and the animals. Our process includes asking questions, asking to see proof of identity and, frequently, asking for veterinary references, particularly when you have other animals at home. This is simply to protect the health of adoption candidates and the pets you already have.
