Come meet some of our AMAZING dogs IN ACTION! We will have some of our adoptable dogs dogs to see and meet! Be ready for some kisses, and LOTS of CUTENESS!

The adoption matchmaking process is a collaborative effort among the adopter and SOS volunteers. Many individuals may be involved in the process, including you and your entire household (including your current pets!), your adoption counselor, the foster home, and an SOS trainer. We have many years and thousands of matches of experience, and are committed to using our knowledge to create successful outcomes.

Want to get the process started? Don’t wait until the event to submit your SOS application at sosarl.org/adopt.

Please note that pre-screened status does not guarantee adoption of any particular dog, nor availability of any particular dog. We aim to develop a trust-based relationship with each adoptive family that we chose to work with and we openly discuss match risk factors throughout the process as we have everyone’s best interests at heart.

Meetings will take place at 6 p.m. March 20

Registration is required.
