Adoption Policies

The Adoption Process

• Explore the CCHS website to find a dog or cat that catches your eye. If you find one, apply directly on our website with the name of the animal. Our adoption staff will review applications and contact you as soon as the application is processed.

• Once your application is approved, CCHS will contact you to set up an appointment.  Adoptions are conducted by appointment.

• We recommend that the dogs already in your home come to CCHS to meet any potential new additions. This practice assists us in helping you and us to make the best decision for your household and existing pets.

• If the meet and greet goes well, be ready to bring your new family member home! For cats, we suggest bringing a carrier, and for dogs, you’ll need a leash and collar. CCHS offers collars and leashes for sale on-site, with proceeds supporting the shelter!
