ADOPTION POLICY: What Makes Us Different? We are different from other shelters because we bring the dog/s, you are interested in, to your house for a meet and greet. It can be a more accurate picture of the environment with your family and pets who are all involved. We find that this helps with a more successful adoption. This does limit us to a 50 mile radius from St. Anthony, but exceptions can be made in special circumstances. Thank you for your understanding.
