Adopt a Pet

Because Animals Matter offers adoptable dogs and, occasionally, other companion animals of many ages and sizes. BAM pets are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and most are microchipped. Every pet is unique, and thoughtful matching helps create successful adoptions.

Prepare for your visit

If the foster parent or Adoption Center contact thinks there may be a match, a meeting will be scheduled. Plan to involve the people and resident dogs your new pet will regularly encounter. Confirm landlord or homeowners association pet policies before meeting the pet. Bring a leash and collar for a dog or an appropriate carrier for a cat or other small companion animal if an overnight trial may be considered.

Meet the pet

Initial dog meetings may take place at a local dog park so resident dogs can be introduced. Allow at least one hour. An adoption application is required before any overnight trial placement.

Complete the adoption

BAM will review the application and confirm continued interest. A home visit may be scheduled. Approved adopters complete an adoption contract, pay the applicable adoption fee, and receive the animal's medical records and starter food.

The Right Match Matters

Adoptions are not first‑come, first‑served. BAM works to match each animal with the home best suited to that animal's personality, habits, and needs.
