I would call the agency and ask, that is a long drive to leave, although you may not find a perfect pet either. It took us three visits to find a suitable, safe pet for our family.
They do same day adoption, but I agree with Jon. Call them first. Talk to them about the adoption process and if there's anything you need to know about the pet you're interested in or anything you need to bring with you for the adoption.
You can take one that day but you may want to get there early
Recently adopted a cat. Entire process took less than two hours. You can go to their website and view many of the animals that are available. Staff is very helpful. An overall good process for our family.
