Charlie's Crusaders Pet Rescue

Thank you for your interest in possibly adopting one of our rescues! Charlie's Crusaders Pet Rescue (CCPR) offers two adoption programs, a Foster-to-Adopt and Transport-Foster-to-Adopt Program. Our Foster-to-Adopt Program is for pets that have already been transported and/or living with a foster family in your area. In this case, after your adoption application and home have been approved, we will set up a meet-n-greet with you (your family and any other pets), the pet you are interested in, and it's foster caretaker. If you think the pet would be a great fit, you will be able to foster him/her in your home for a two week trial period before committing to a final adoption. In many cases, mostly due to a lack of available foster homes, our rescues are on a waiting list to get transported to the PA, tri-state area. So, another popular option with many of our adopters—in order to secure the pet they are interested in—is our Transport-Foster-To-Adopt Program. If the pet you want is currently out-of-state, after your adoption application and home have been approved, we would have the pet transported to a transfer location closest to you within a week or two. You would meet the transport and pick up your rescue at a pre-designated location, then foster him/her in your home for a two week trial period before committing to a final adoption. We work closely with you as needed to help make your rescue’s transition into your home and your adoption experience enjoyable and as successful as possible. This includes, if at any point, you find you and your adoptable pet are not a good fit, we will find someone else to foster or adopt him/her, then additionally help you find a rescue who is a better fit for you and your family. ADOPTION FEE A final, tax-deductable adoption donation of $450 is kindly requested. This covers the $200 cost of transportation, plus a $250 donation to offset any needed medical and care expenses after rescue. This donation is not a fee or sale price, but a request to defer or reimburse rescuer for any and all medical expenses and transportation costs, or any other expenses incurred by the dog or rescuer to consider dog for adoption. This fee is non-refundable once final payment has been received.
