- “Coming Soon” most often means an animal is recovering from their spay/neuter surgery and will likely be available the following day.
- “On Deck” means an animal isn't able to leave the shelter with a new family just yet, but you can still come in to meet them.
- “Available from Foster” means the animal is not physically inside our shelter but is instead in foster care while they search for a family of their own. Click on the animal's photo for information on how to express your interest in adoption to their foster parent.
