Pet Adoptions

Interested in Adopting?

Adopting an animal is gaining a family member for the life of that pet.  This can be a commitment of up to 20 years for a puppy or kitten!

Our shelter is a stray facility, which means the animals we shelter have been lost or have been abandoned.  These animals have been rescued by Animal Control Officers and citizens who have been unable to locate an owner.  Based on Utah state law, we must hold every animal for three days to give the owner an opportunity to redeem their lost pet.  Licensed and otherwise identified animals are held a minimum of five working days. If the pet is not claimed during that time, and the animal is healthy and friendly, it will be available for adoption.

If you are looking for a new pet companion, visit our shelter at any time from 9:30-5:30 and look through our kennels for adoptable pets. Or, check out the link above and see all of the animals in the shelter.

 

Adopt a new friend for life.
