    All Tails at One Time

    Come meet your new best friend and take them home at our next adoption event.

    Our next All Tails adoption event is scheduled for ‍Saturday, March 14th from 12-2pm!

    Hosted at our Adoption Center (5132 NE Sandy Blvd), available dogs are introduced to approved adopters on a first come, first served basis.

    Spend time talking with the foster home and adoption facilitator to see if it’s a good fit. Take your new buddy home with you if it is!
