*Animals which have completed their "Stray Hold" time and have been spayed/neutered and fully vaccinated are considered "ready-to-go." Any animal in a "ready-to-go" status can go home with you today.
Note: Due to the special needs of small puppies and the fact that most puppies arrive at the shelter with no history, all dogs under the age of 6 months are only available for adoption on a "Ready-to-Go" status and cannot be pre-adopted.
