Pets bring so much joy to people’s lives. They are companions and friends and just plain fun!
​Adopting a pet from the shelter is a wonderful way to bring love into your life and to give a deserving animal the home it needs and deserves.

WE ARE STILL ADOPTING VIA EMAIL AND TELEPHONE.
Those interested in adopting can submit adoption applications to adoption@akjar.org
