Adopt a Dog
Adoption Center Hours
Monday – Friday • 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Saturday – Sunday • 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Our staff is here seven days a week to help you find your forever friend. Visitations and adoptions are handled on a first come, first served basis and end 30 minutes before closing. Outdoor meet-and-greets are weather permitting to ensure the health and safety of our animals.
​
For larger dogs, visitors can request an available dog from our website or browse dogs on a tablet at the Adoption Center. A team member will set up a visitation with the selected dog in one of our outdoor yards. Up to three dogs can be viewed per visit. Large dog visits end at 4:30 to give our Canine Team the opportunity to prepare or dogs for the night. For smaller dogs and puppies, visitors can view them in the Happy Tails Playroom or request a visitation in one of our outdoor yards.
​
A meet-and-greet with your current dog is required if either your dog or the dog you’re interested in is dog-selective or dog-reactive. If you’re unsure how the interaction may go, our Canine Team is happy to help facilitate a safe introduction. If you bring your dog, please provide a current vaccination record.​
Meet Coco Melon
​​​​
Coco Melon is a happy, wiggly bundle of love whose whole body gets involved when he’s excited—his signature wiggle butt says it all! He would do best as the only dog in the home, where he can soak up all the attention he deserves. Coco Melon is both toy- and food-motivated, especially when it comes to tough, hard toys he can really enjoy. When playtime winds down, he’s a total cuddlebug who loves being close to his people. He’s also a great Doggie Date candidate, making him a fun companion for outings and adventures!
