FAQ: HOW TO ADOPT WHILE WE'RE CLOSED

1. Where are the available pets? All our residents are being fostered off-site but are still available for adoption. They are all shown on this page.
2. How do I meet a pet I'm intereested in? During March, all adoptions will be conducted by appointment only. To get started, please complete one of the forms below.
Canine adoption form

3. Can't adopt? Please consider becoming a foster.
Private Adoptions
If you can't find a pet at FAAS, check local pets available for adoption!
