Helena's Story
If you don’t want to start from scratch with a puppy and you want a stalwart friend by your side at all times, then an adult dog may be the best choice you ever make. We’ve all heard the phrase, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Adult dogs have a great attention span and eagerness to please, allowing them to learn faster than more youthful members of their species. If you’re looking for a steadfast companion who will be truly grateful for a second chance at a happy life, consider adopting a dog.

If you’re interested in adopting this pet, please complete the following steps:
1. Start by taking our ComPETibility Quiz to make sure they’re a good fit for your home. Your ComPETibility Score will help you compare your home to each pet’s needs!
2. After completing your ComPETibility Quiz, you will be emailed a link to complete your Adoption Application.
3. After finishing the adoption application, complete the Adoption Inquiry Form! Once this form is submitted, our Adoption Team will take a look at your adoption inquiry and reach out within a few days.
Please note that while we can’t place holds on adoptable animals for your scheduled appointment, there are always plenty of homeless pets looking for a home! If you don’t meet the perfect pet, please feel free to complete a new Adoption Inquiry Form or visit our Adoption Center. Walk-ins are always welcome, but appointments are recommended for a more efficient visit!
Want another way to spend time with our adoptable (or soon-to-be-adoptable) pets? Consider fostering.
