Requirements

MARL is a non-profit organization that is committed to all animals in our care and considers pet ownership a serious responsibility. We want to ensure that each person who adopts a pet is aware of the responsibility and commitment that a pet needs. This application will aid us in making the best placement match for you and the animal. The adoption experience takes some time because we want you to have all the necessary information to support you in a successful adoption. We ask for your cooperation throughout the process of bringing people and pets together. You must be at least 21 years of age and be able to present photo ID to adopt a pet.
