Adopt Lieutenant Tawny Madison

It’s simple! Check out our available animals by browsing online or visiting one of our Best Friends locations. Our team can assist with finding a good fit for your household. After you’ve spent some time (in person or virtually) getting to know the animal and you’ve decided to make it official, you’ll be asked to sign an adoption contract. If there is an adoption fee, it will be collected at that time too. The last step? Bring home your pet and begin enjoying life with your new best friend.

For pets listed as available, you are welcome to stop in anytime during regular hours. For pets who are currently off-site, please contact the adoption center by phone.

Our lifetime return policy means that at any time during the life of the adopted pet, Best Friends will accept the animal back into our program, including matches that no longer work out or situations in which the adopter is unable to care for the pet.

In this case, the adopter is asked to contact Best Friends in advance of bringing the pet back to the location where the pet was adopted. If that location is no longer the closest option, Best Friends staff may arrange to accept the pet at an alternate pet adoption center or authorize an individual to receive the pet on Best Friends’ behalf to bring the pet to a Best Friends facility.

Our library is full of pet care resources, created by our in-house experts, and is always available online 24/7.

Tips for bringing home your new pet

Absolutely! While not every pet is eligible for foster, there are often dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens who could use a temporary place to stay. Best Friends provides the food, supplies, support, and veterinary care — you provide the love and a place to land.
