CAWL ADOPTION PROCESS ~ PLEASE READ
If one of our dogs has won your heart, just fill out the Adoption Application and one of our volunteers will contact you. Please understand that we have a “Best Home” policy for all of our pets which means that we evaluate each application received for our rescues and choose the best possible home, not necessarily the first application received.
We DO NOT have a physical location, as all of our dogs are fostered in individual homes. Once you’ve had your phone interview, we will arrange to have you meet the dog or cat of your dreams.
Our adoption fees are: $200 for puppies, $175 for adult dogs, $100 for seniors, and $75 for cats. CAWL does reserve the right to modify these fees at any time and may modify the fees for a specific animal as well. Fees include spay or neuter if arranged thru CAWL, and all age-appropriate vaccinations.
We have a 3 step adoption process which must be completed before we place any of our dogs.
We require:
1) A completed application. (While we encourage you to let us know on your application if one of our dogs has captured your interest, we use this simply as a guide for matching and your listing of specific dog in no way implies claim to this particular dog)
2) A phone interview
3) A meet and greet with our CAWL pet and your family, including the pets in the family. We want to find the right home for our dogs and cats, and we want to find the right pet for your family.
Puppies:
We have found that puppies from the same litter tend to bond to one another, to their detriment, when adopted together. Therefore, we do not adopt out two puppies from the same litter to the same adopter.
** The general guideline is that puppies may be left alone, for no longer in hours than the number of months of their ages. Please do not apply for a young puppy if you intend to be gone all day.
