Celebration of Canine Lives Sanctuary
Our Mission
Our mission is to rescue homeless dogs and place them in permanent, loving homes utilizing comprehensive adoption procedures to ensure dogs and families are well-matched. We also will offer lifetime sanctuary for dogs that are difficult to place in adoptive homes due to having significant behavioral and/or medical issues. We seek to do our part to putting an end to the killing of homeless dogs in our nation and to practice and promote resources, relationships and activities that encourage canine well-being.
Adoption Policy
We have potential adopters fill out a detailed application. If the dog and the potential adopter's appear to be well-matched, we contact three of the applicants personal references and one veterinary reference. Then we call the potential adopter to discuss the application and set up a time for him/her to meet the pet. Depending on the pet's personality, we may require the adopter to come to our sanctuary and get to know him/her several times before taking the pet home. We will also conduct in-person home visits for every adoption. If all goes smoothly, we will have the adopter sign a legally-binding contract. If for any reason and at any time the adopter can no longer keep the pet, he/she is required to return the pet to our sanctuary.
