Churchill Animal Protection Society (CAPS)'s Adoption Policy
Additional Adoption Information Our goal is to create the best possible match for both our animals and adopters. We are committed to honest, thoughtful placements that set everyone up for long-term success. • Meet & Greets: Meet and greets are not required. Because shelter environments can be stressful and do not always reflect a dog’s true behavior, we do not rely on meet and greets to determine compatibility. However, they are available upon request. • Application Review: Applications are carefully reviewed to match each pet with a home that fits their needs, energy level, and temperament. • Behavior Transparency: We strive to be as transparent as possible about each animal’s personality, history, and needs so adopters can make informed decisions. • Home Environment: Some pets may require specific environments (such as secure fencing, no other pets, or an experienced handler). • Adoption Fees: Fees help cover spay/neuter, vaccinations, and overall care while the animal is with us. • Commitment: Adopting a pet is a long-term commitment. We are looking for stable, loving homes prepared to provide care for the lifetime of the animal. • Support: Our team is available for guidance during the transition and beyond—we want you and your pet to succeed!
