What this site is
Yard Drive provides software that animal shelters use to manage their dogs and to publish the ones available for adoption. These pages show what each shelter has chosen to publish.
Listings belong to the shelter
Each shelter writes and maintains its own listings, photographs and descriptions. We do not verify them. Information about a dog's history, health or behaviour is the shelter's to give, and a listing is not a promise that a dog is still available or suitable for your home.
Adoption decisions, fees, screening and any agreement you sign are entirely between you and the shelter.
Contacting a shelter
Use the inquiry form to ask about adopting an animal. Do not use it to send advertising, abuse, or anything unlawful. We may remove access from anyone who does.
Availability
We try to keep these pages working, but we do not guarantee they will always be available or free of errors, and a shelter may take its page down at any time.
Content
Photographs and text about a dog belong to the shelter that published them. Please do not republish them elsewhere without asking the shelter first. Sharing a link to a dog's page is always welcome.
