ADOPTION
INFO & FAQ
PLEASE READ THE IMPORTANT
INFORMATION BELOW
 We regularly post pictures
and histories of many animals under our care
on our website and on PetFinder to help find
loving, forever homes for the animals in our
care.
As with all of our
animals, we can't guarantee an animal will
be at the shelter when you
come in, as they could be adopted at any
moment!
Feel free to call
and check on any animal or stop by to visit
all of the gang
at Operation
Kindness!
Operation Kindness
is a no-kill animal welfare organization
that provides food, shelter
and veterinary care for homeless, abandoned
and unwanted cats and dogs until they
are adopted into loving homes. These animals
are not merchandise, rather, they are
living
creatures entrusted to our care. It is
our responsibility and mission to find
the best possible homes for them and
to meet the individual needs of each animal. We reserve the right to deny any adoption
as we see fit.
