Our Adoption Process...

Step 1- Complete Adoption Questionnaire/Application
Our goal is to place dogs in the most compatible home possible. Our questionnaire is designed to help  acquaint us with the potential adopter and make the best pet-to-home match. Considering that our  rescues have already had a less than ideal life, we ask the following questions to help us better  understand our applicants and the reason they want a rescue pet. Our questionnaire is intended to  be a guide to consider all the ways a pet will impact your life and also to determine if you are a suitable match for one of our rescued dogs. All of the questions concern various aspects of pet ownership that should be given serious consideration before deciding to share your life with any animal. The information you provide will help us to find the most suitable pet for your family.

Step 2- Home Visit and Meet & Greet
We know you can't judge a book by the cover-or a pet by a picture. Once an application is approved, we set up a Meet & Greet and Home Visit to see how the dog interacts with the potential adopter.

Step 3- Adoption Fee and Adoption Contract
All pets are vet current at time of adoption. Spay/Neuter (if pet is not already altered) and microchip is included in adoption fee of $175.00 for most dogs. Adoption Contract requires pet be returned to Companion Canines if at anytime he/she cannot be kept by adopter. Pet cannot be re-homed or taken to any shelter.

Note: As stated above, part of our adoption procedure is a Home Visit before adoption as well as follow-up visits after. In the case of puppies, veterinary visits to our participating animal hospital are also necessary. For these reasons we are not able to place dogs outside our adoption range. We generally serve Union and surrounding counties but will travel outside the area in some situations.
