All of the animals below are available and waiting to be adopted by you! We do not have a shelter for you to visit, because all of our animals stay in foster homes until they are adopted. In order to meet our animals, you must be an approved adopter. Read how can you become an approved adopter below.
How to Adopt
1. Download the Adopter Application by clicking here. This application cannot be filled out online. You will need to print it out to complete it. Once you've completed the application, you can mail, fax or scan and email the application to us. All of our contact information is listed on the bottom of each page of the application.
2. Once we receive the application, we'll start checking your references and we will call you to make an appointment for your home visit. The home visit helps us get a feel for you, what you're looking for in a critter and helps us to ensure that all ARC critters are going into a caring, loving home.
That's it! Once you complete these two steps successfully, you will be an approved ARC Adopter!! At this point, you will meet the ARC critter you're applying for and if all goes well, you'll be signing the final agreement to take your new companion home.
