Animal Info

Meet Athena! Athena is a sweet but shy girl who may take a little time to warm up, but once she gets to know you, she shows what a loving sweetheart she truly is. She enjoys chasing after balls, playing outside, and taking in all the fun around her. Athena also has a little goofy side that shines through when she’s feeling comfortable, adding plenty of smiles and laughter to her days. When she’s not exploring, Athena loves snuggling up with her people and spending quality time with those she trusts. Athena would prefer a home with no cats and is looking for a family who will give her the time and patience she needs to settle into her new home at her own pace. With a little understanding and love, Athena will blossom into a loving companion. If you’re interested in meeting Athena, Stop by the shelter today!

  • Alteration Surgery
    • Each animal is spayed or neutered before leaving our facility to ensure a healthy life and prevent unwanted litters.
  • A Loving Pet
    • Our animals will give you a lifetime of love and gratitude for giving them a second chance at being a loyal pet again.

We take credit cards (preferred), debit cards, and cash to process payments. We are unable to accept checks.

We cannot hold animals. Adoptions are on a first-come, first-serve basis. We recommend checking our website often when you’re ready to adopt. Our adoption page is updated in real-time as animals are added and adopted.

It’s important to note that an approved application does not guarantee adoption. It simply means that you have been approved to adopt from the RHSPCA. We recommend checking your email for our approval message (or follow up questions) and then scheduling a pet adoption appointment to meet the animal you’re interested in, should they still be available.

Approved applications are non-binding, you can change your mind at any time. We’ll also keep your approved application on file for 30 days.

  • Please bring a valid ID so we can process your adoption, in case you find a pet you love. Dogs leaving the building must be on a leash (available to purchase at the shelter). Cats leaving the building must be in a carrier (also available to purchase at the shelter).
  • We ask that you please leave your current pets at home. We want to first make sure that it’s a good match between humans and shelter animals. After your initial appointment, we can schedule a time for an introduction with your resident pets at the shelter, if needed.

Yes! We do adopt to out-of-area homes. A meet and greet with the pet is required. Please keep in mind that the shelter has a first come, first serve adoption policy when making your travel plans.

Adopters may only adopt 2 pets within a 30-day period.
