Coveted Canines and Creatures Rescue has a rigorous, tiered, application process to ensure that each pet is matched with the home that best meets its needs.

 

  1. Once Coveted Canines and Creatures receives your application and we determine you are an appropriate match for the pet applied for, the Adoption Support Manager for the dog of interest will be in touch with you via e-mail (please check your junk mail!) to review your application and answer any questions you may have about the process or the pet applied for. Please allow 48 hours for us to respond to your application. We process a maximum of 3 applicants per dog simultaneously.

  2.  Our adoption process requires a home visit and 3 completed personal references (+ a vet reference if you have any current or previous pets) prior to being approved for adoption. We will also set up a meet and greet between you and the dog of interest, usually this is done before beginning the rest of the adoption process. Adoption events are also a great place to meet our dogs (and the CCCR team)!

  3. If you are the successful applicant you will be notified by the Adoption Support Manager via email and you will be connected with the foster parent to take home your new family member. The adoption contract, medical waiver and fee must be paid/completed before your new pet is picked up.

  4. If you are not the successful applicant but are pre-approved to adopt from us you will be notified by a member of the Adoptions Team via email and encouraged to continue to look on our social media feeds (check us out on Facebook and Instagram) and website for the next pet that interests you. You will already have completed a home visit and references so your application will be ready to go for the next one, and we can move right to the meet and greet.

Apply using our online adoption application or view and download the CCCR adoption application as a PDF. Please email completed PDF applications to adopt@covetedcanines.org.

Please note that being pre-approved does not mean you'll automatically get to adopt the next pet that interests you. Pre-approved means we recognize you'd be a good home, however we need to ensure that the pet is the right fit for you and your family.

Please note: we do not call applicants to discuss why they did not get chosen for a particular pet.
