Why do I have to provide information before viewing an animal?

Many of our animals are at the shelter because their former owners did not think through the responsibilities of owning a pet. We request that all potential adopters fill out initial information before viewing or meeting an animal so our volunteer staff can ensure that decisions to adopt are not based on an emotional response. This information will help us to find the right pet for you and your family. This time is well invested when you consider that your pet could live with you for 10 to 20 years! We ask for your patience and cooperation in the exciting process of bringing pets and people together.

**APPLICATIONS WILL BE RESPONDED TO VIA EMAIL. PLEASE ENSURE YOU ARE CHECKING YOUR SPAM MAILBOX IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD BACK WITHIN ONE WEEK. MISTY CREEK VOLUNTEERS WILL CONTACT INTERESTED ADOPTERS BETWEEN 3 AND 5 BUSINESS DAYS.**
