Step 3: HSDR will contact you to tell you more about the animal you are interested in, or help to match you with an animal that would be best suited for your home, family and lifestyle.
Step 4: Set up an appointment time to visit animals at the shelter and meet with our knowledgeable adoption staff
Step 5: Make arrangements to take your new furry family member home!
