Adopting from the RISPCA
We attempt to adopt any animal that is in good health and does not demonstrate untreatable agression.
Finding the perfect pet at a shelter is possible but takes time and effort on your part. Careful planning is essential. New animals arrive daily, so all of the animals in our shelter may not be listed on our website.
Our dogs must be temperament tested before they are available for adoption, and are given a few days to settle in first. Review a step-by-step account of our adoption process.
