Adoption Policy

Adoption Process:
1. Fill out the online adoption application
2. The Adoption Coordinator will contact you via email or phone call within 48 to 72 hours.
3. All references will be checked.
4. A local meet and greet can be set up prior to an adoption.
5. If the dog is not a match, a CARE member may suggest a different dog that would be better suited to your family. CARE reserves the right to not adopt if not in the best interest of the dog.
6. Once the adoption is confirmed a $150.00 adoption fee is paid prior to the adoption of the CARE dog if you are local. If you are needing transport, the adopter will pay the additional health certificate fees and the transport fee.
