Current Wait Times

At WHS, all adopters sign in using a program called Waitwhile. You’ll stop at the front desk or a kiosk to enter your info and hold your spot in line to meet with an adoption counselor.
If there is a wait, you’re free to look around the building, run a nearby errand, or wait in your car if you’d like — we’ll text you as soon as an adoption counselor is available to help you!

Important Notes:

  • The lists will appear empty when we are closed or if no one is in line while we’re open. Please confirm our adoption hours before heading over.
  • Even on days with longer waits, the list can move quickly at times, and you’re always able to remove yourself from the line if you no longer wish to wait that day.
