PARL seeks to create a welcoming and barrier-free adoption process that is entirely conversation-based. We believe in building and strengthening the human-companion animal bond and through conversation, we seek to find the best match for both adopter and animal. If you have any questions, please contact reception@parl.org.
iMpORTANT INFORMATION:
Photos and bios for all available animals are posted on our website. Follow the links below to see available dogs, cats, and small animals.
If you see an animal you'd like to adopt, please complete an Adopter Profile online. This ensures your information is in our system and makes it much easier to introduce you to possible adoption matches when you stop by for a visit.
Our shelter is generally open for walk-in visitors Wednesday-Sunday from 12pm-4pm. We are not able to begin the adoption process after 3:30pm.
We will not place more than 2-3 animals into a new home at a time, and they must be of the same species. Final decision will be made case-by-case depending on the needs of the animals.
Come visit us during our open hours and meet our animals. Adoptions can usually be completed in the same day and we look forward to introducing you to your new family member!
Some animals in our care require more conversation and pre-arranged meeting dates if the animal is in foster care. If that is the case, there will be specific instructions in the animal's bio about how to inquire about the animal and/or set up a time to meet them.
If you're considering adopting a dog and already have a dog(s) at home, a meet-and-greet will likely be required before finalizing the adoption. To prepare, please bring proof of rabies vaccination for your current dog(s). If you're unable to bring your dog(s) due to special circumstances, please contact us ahead of time for guidance.
