The goal of our Adoption program is to find permanent, loving responsible homes for Island
animals in the care of the ASMV. We try to find a match that considers not only the best interests of
the animal, but also those of potential owners.


The day you take home a new pet is the day you begin a special friendship. While you’ll have many years together, your pet will never outgrow his or her need for you. Our staff is here today and for the life of your pet, to provide information and advance on pet care and responsibility,
