Out of Area Adoptions?
The CWDF does approve out of area adoptions for most of our dogs. The basic adoption process is the same, out of area adopters must submit an application on-line, undergo a brief 10-15 minute phone interview, and meet the dog(s) they are interested in adopting in person. The CWDF does not adopt dogs out sight unseen, the adopter must meet the dog in person.
If approved, The CWDF will help coordinate the adopted dog's travel. |
