Adopt

Thank you for your interest in one of our animals!

  • If the animal is listed on the website, it is still available for adoption.
  • If the animal has a “Coming Soon” banner, you are still able to submit an application.  This designation usually means the animal is waiting on spay/neuter surgery. 
  • All animals adopted through WAAL come spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated (age-appropriate), dewormed, and tested for heartworms (dogs aged 6 months or older) or feline leukemia (cats aged 6 months or older).
  • If the animal has an “I’m at Snick’s Cat Cafe” banner, they are available to be visited at Snick’s but still available to put in an application for.
  • If you are interested in an animal, please submit an application first; this in no way commits you to a specific animal, or obligates you to adopt.
  • Our adoptions team is volunteer-run, and applications may take 3-5 days to process.
  • To check the status of your application, please email us at:
  • You can view adoption fees, age, breed, sex, and biography by clicking on the individual animal. (Adoption fees may vary depending on the animal.)

Adoption Policies

  • All animals are adopted to indoor only homes.
  • You must be 18 years or older to adopt.
  • Adopters must be willing to participate in follow-up contact after adoption, whether in person or via phone.
  • If approved, the adopter must sign a legally binding adoption contract outlining the parameters and requirements of adoption.
  • All dogs must be kept on monthly heartworm/flea prevention by owner once adopted.
  • Cats will never be declawed once adopted.
  • We do not have a blanket policy regarding fences; some dogs require them and some do not.
  • We will always help provide appropriate standards and practices to introduce a new family member into your home, whether it be dog-to-dog intros or dog-to-cat intros.
  • For their safety, all animals must be returned to WAAL if for any reason the adopter cannot keep them.
  • We require an approved application to schedule adoption meetings with our animals.
