Meet and Greet Adoption Process
~ Preview our available animals below.
~ Complete or Update your Pre-Adoption Information. The purpose of this form is to give BENCHS information about you as a pet owner. By listing which animal(s) you are interested in, our staff will get an idea of what type of pet you are looking for. Because we typically get multiple adopters expressing interest in the same animal, there is no guarantee that the animal(s) you listed will be available for you to meet and/or adopt.
