Listed below are the dogs we currently have available for adoption.  We are a small, non-profit organization and have only as many animals available for adoption as we have foster homes.  Please note that we are not the county animal shelter - all of our animals are in foster care and can be met by appointment only. 

The adoption process:  If you are interested in adopting any of the animals listed below, please download and complete an adoption application for the dog or puppy of choice.  Once completed, please email, fax, or mail the application to our office.  Once received and approved, we will be able to set up a time for you & your family to meet the dog or puppy of interest.

Currently, CCHS has no dogs available for adoption.  If you'd like to see dogs available for adoption as much as we would, please consider being a dog foster for a lovable pooch in need.  As we're only able to rescue as many animals as we have available foster homes, we greatly appreciate all suitable homes willing to give some love & attention to an animal in need.  The care comes at no financial cost to you, but the feeling you'll get from saving a life is priceless.  To find out more information about CCHS's foster care program, please click here.

 

j0084442.wmf (21662 bytes)If you are looking to adopt a certain breed of dog, please also consider contacting breed-specific rescue groups throughout the state.  Visit www.rescuecanines.com to locate breed-specific organizations within your state.  Even if organizations listed are out of your immediate area, it may still be worth contacting them as many have contacts beyond their location.

Paws for thought... Just this year alone, 3-4 million animals will be euthanized - more than a quarter-million each month, 405 each hour,       one every nine seconds.

A devastating number of unwanted and unplanned animals are born each year without the guarantee of a forever home.  Each home found for these animals means one less home for an already-alive shelter animal facing euthanasia.  If you could do something simple to help end this needless destruction, wouldn't you?

PLEASE spay, neuter, adopt and spread the word! 

We can all make a difference in the lives of these animals.
