Pets

We process applications Tuesdays through Fridays and we will email you with any questions or concerns we may have. It is recommended that you have an appointment with an approved application before coming to meet the animals so we have a staff member available to assist you and once you find the right pet you are already approved to adopt. Click here to to learn more about why appointments are recommended. POTENTIAL ADOPTERS MUST BE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OF AGE TO ADOPT If you have not received an email please check your spam folder, call, or email us. Allow us time to process applications and we will get back with you to let you know what you need to do for your next step as soon as we can. Our email address is adopt@heartofthefoothills.org
