Adoption Policy

 

Because of the difficult beginnings with which our animals have been faced, it is our goal to find them a happy ending. Not only do we not want them to end up back on the street, we want them to have the loving home they so deserve. In order to provide this for these animals, our adoption process consists of several easy but thorough steps.

• If you're interested in an animal, we'll ask that you fill out a questionnaire, which we will review to ensure you and the dog you are interested in adopting are a perfect match!

• Once that match has been made, we'll do a home inspection and then a home delivery of the animal. Sometimes this can all take place within the same day, however it usually happens within a couple of days. This is due to the fact that we don't have enough volunteers to run adoptions and do home checks all at once!

• There is generally no waiting period. However, Canine Crusaders reserves the right to cancel the adoption process at any time if we feel that the home situation or adoptive family has been misrepresented, if all information was not given, or if we feel that perhaps the dog is a better match with another family.

• Now that your pet is anxiously awaiting its new family, a $150.00 donation is required and you must sign the adoption contract agreement. The donation covers spaying/neutering, kennel rent, vaccinations and de-worming. The adoption fee goes to pay for all of the other animals in our care, many of which come to us with injuries or medical conditions that require treatment. Canine Crusades survives solely on adoption donations and it is for this reason that the $150 donation is non-negotiable.

 

• When you adopt a Canine Crusaders pet your new family member will always be current on all vaccinations and of course be neutered or spayed.

• We offer a two-week grace period for all dogs, at which time you may receive a full refund of your money. Due to our lack of space and volunteers, we will need you to continue to foster the animal until we can find a suitable replacement home. At no time may you sell your adopted pet, give him away to strangers, take him to the pound, give or sell him to research, or euthanize him for anything other than a terminal medical condition.
