Adopt

When you adopt a pet, you save a life. And your life is changed for the better as well. In addition to unconditional love, having a pet brings many psychological, emotional and physical health benefits, too.

Certain dogs housed in our shelter have the most urgent need for a home. Please visit this page to learn more.

LifeLine embraces the Adopters Welcome approach originated by the Humane Society of the United States. This philosophy encourages conversation-based and open-minded adoptions, enabling us to find more homes for our shelter pets without unnecessary judgment.
