Companion Animal Rescue Alliance (CARA)

Additional adoption info

Step 1: Meet our cats and dogs looking for good homes.

Check our web page www.cara-adopt.org for pictures and biographies. Contact us to meet the animal you are interested in. We hold weekly "adoption shows" at local petstores -- see the website for our schedule!

To contact us, please email us at cara_adopt@yahoo.com, one of our volunteers will respond back to you.

Step 2: Fill out an application.

Applications are available to download in html, Adobe PDF or Word formats from our main page, www.cara-adopt.org. Free software downloaded from Adobe will allow you to view and print out PDF files from your browser.

You can download or print it out, then email it to us or bring it with you when you meet the cat or dog.

Step 3: Application Review

Your application will be reviewed to make sure that this is the right dog or cat for you. We will call your vet to obtain a summary of the vet record for your current pets. If you rent, we will verify that you are allowed to have animals. This step takes just a couple of days, and is one that nearly all rescue groups take these days.

Step 4: Adoption

Once your application is approved, we will schedule a home visit to bring over your new cat or dog. You will be asked to sign an adoption contract and pay an adoption fee, which is a donation that goes toward vet care of more rescued animals.
